- **Event Name**: Ordinary People 2026 Artist Reception First Friday at TAC
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Friday opens the  first and only full showing of the ten Oregon portraits in the "Ordinary People" series by Elisa.  

Our curator has been in love with this project since it was only a thought.  This combination of personal interaction, on point portraits, and words pulled from talking with the subjects during the sketch and capture prior to painting is powerful. 

FIrst Friday is your only opportunity to meet and talk to Elisa as she is moving back home way far away in a very few weeks (to an M state you have probably heard more than a bit about recently), and we will miss her here.

Join us Friday.  It is going to be a very good evening indeed.

The Artist's Statement: 
When downsizing to a minimalist lifestyle, creating contemporary abstract art became central for me. Processing life through painting, gave meaning to life. My pieces are meditations in resilience, beauty and hope.

My Ordinary People series is a tribute to all of the inspiring people I meet fighting to save democracy and standing up for our constitutional rights. 

We are in a movement not a moment, and it is ordinary people doing small things consistently that will make the changes we need. Connecting back to my poetry and paint series, I use bright colors to capture the essence of individuals I meet along the way, and words to capture the stories they share with me in a sitting and interview.

My hope is that my series, and the stories of my subjects, will connect the viewer to our world, and remind us that we are a small part of the bigger picture, yet we have the opportunity to greatly affect outcomes for the future, and inspire actions towards stewardship of our home and all living things in it.
