Maude Kerns Art Center Presents
Photography at Oregon’s 46th Annual Exhibit and Auction is nearly upon us! We’ve already received an impressive collection of donations so far, including contributions from internationally-renowned artists such as Christopher Burkett, Steve Dzerigian, Christopher Landis and Brian Lanker, as well as outstanding works from many exceptional local and regional artists, such as Barbora Bakalarova, Sarah Grew, Walt O’Brien, Susie Morrill and Doremus Scudder.
The online auction event begins May 1st, but you can also view a select number of photographs exhibited at Dot Dotson’s Gallery in Eugene in three parts from April through June.
The first installment of the PAO Auction Exhibit opens on First Friday, April 5th.
There will be an opening reception from 5-6 p.m., complete with wine and hors d’oeuvres. It promises to be a special occasion; we hope to see you there.
You can view the show all of April, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Following that, new works will be displayed each month through the end of the auction period, so watch for the exhibit changes on May 3rd and June 7th so you can see these remarkable prints in person. These are both First-Friday opening receptions from 5-6 p.m.
The auction itself will be open for bids starting May 1st and continuing through June 30th. The entire selection will be able to be viewed online and bids can be made there. So, starting May 1st, visit https://www.accelevents.com/e/pao2024 .
Don’t miss this great opportunity to acquire fine-art photography at auction prices while supporting photography events in the Willamette Valley!
Photography At Oregon has had a busy and successful season, sponsoring exhibits and talks by many talented artists over the past year, including shows by Greg Giesy, Susie Morrill, Ray Bidegain, Kurt Norlin, Guy Weese and David Becker. Works by many of these artists will also be included in the auction. Visit photographyatoregon.org for more information about PAO.
We are looking forward to an active turnout for the 2024 Auction! Remember, that all proceeds go toward promoting and sponsoring photography exhibits and events by PAO, as they have for the past 45 years. Our success is directly due to the generosity of many fine photographers donating work, giving back to the medium we all love, as well as the generosity and commitment of our bidders.
There are three exhibits of works from the auctions on the following dates:
April 5 - May 1
May 3 - June 5
June 7 - June 30
Opening receptions will be on First Friday of each of the three months:

"The pictures to be shown at Pushdot Gallery were selected from a larger ensemble of nocturnal pieces, shot over a period of ten years in parts of the Western U.S. — areas in Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Washington.
The work is as much about fiction as it is documentary. It suggests a set-like quality that places take on at night, a staged, somewhat artificial appearance that becomes evident in the photograph."
Philippe Mazaud (born in New York City, American and French) is an artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. His work involves both painting (notably in its unconventional use of dry pigments and pastel blocks) and photography (a blend of analog and digital). It positions itself, in some sense, at the interface of several domains — pictorial and photographic, analog and digital.

Jody Miller • Scenes from the Park
April 13 - May 8 2024
For five years I lived in a mobile home park in Palm Springs, California. I grew curious about others who lived in my park and imagined what their life stories might be like. During this last year, I created images that only hint at these personal stories of imaginary events, all made during the "blue hour" at dusk, when we can easily transition into dreamlike scenarios of our own making. There is both stillness and drama at this time of day, and the Sou'Wester Lodge in Seaview, Washington, with its vintage-era trailers, was an ideal place to create the timeless feel I was looking for. Feel free to draw your own stories from these images, as I have. ~ Jody Miller
Photography Workshop in Provence, France with Fritz Liedtke
September 7-14, 2024
La Fontaine, Velleron, France
Private room with en-suite bathroom 4400€ per person
Private room with shared bathroom 4200€ per person
Join Portland photographer and artist Fritz Liedtke in Provence, France, for an intimate and transformative week-long photography retreat that you won't forget.
Fritz Liedtke and Raina Stinson invite you to join them in the South of France for a week in September, where you will:
• learn to create stunning artistic portraits in majestic locations in the south of France;
• dial in your lighting, with both natural light and portable flash;
• have time to photograph models and dancers in chateaus, abbeys, gardens, and villages, with instructor input and feedback;
• have private access to photograph in some of the region’s hidden treasures;
• visit the best antique sellers and farmer’s markets;
• taste local Provençal food and wine;
• all this, while living in the French countryside next to the village of Velleron, surrounded by a small group of like-minded artists.
The focus of this photography workshop is fine art portraiture. Using local models and dancers, vintage clothing, local antiques, and the villages, chateaus, and fields of Provence, you’ll learn to elevate your portrait photography from good to extraordinary. Master photographer Fritz Liedtke will share with you his 35 years as a portrait photographer, helping you learn the ins and outs of creating powerful portraits. You’ll learn how to see light, and how to use it to your advantage (including the use of light modifiers and small, portable flashes). Through in-class discussions, on-location demonstrations, and time to photograph with models, you’ll learn about planning, wardrobe, model selection and direction, location selection, lighting, and post-processing, to create deeply moving portraits.
In this workshop, you’ll also learn to transcend the fears and limitations that keep you from your best work as an artist. Through a variety of exercises, Raina and Fritz will help you to see what hinders you from your best work, and how to move past these barriers with freedom and confidence.
All of this will take place in a private residence in Velleron, France, surrounded by acres of gardens, groves, and a swimming pool, and within walking distance of the village and its famous farmer’s market. Regular outings will take us to chateaus, villages, and secret locations throughout the region, where you can photograph, shop, eat, and explore.
Not only will you learn to create beautiful photographs in Provence, but also to come away refreshed and invigorated as an artist. You’ll learn to fine-tune both your vision and your technique. You’ll return home with a beautiful portfolio and a full heart.
Please join us.

When truly pressed about what makes Oregon more wondrous than other states, I always return to water. Specifically, fresh water. Despite a dry summertime climate in most of our state, we are blessed with a stunning array of rivers, lakes, streams, and waterfalls that are unequaled in other places. These waters evolve, shift, narrow, expand, and most importantly, they nourish. They are our lifeline. Without them, our beautiful state would be barren.
