Word Play

A show featuring the works of Rebecca Wild and Micheal Kelley in a beautiful combination of Letter Press, Calligraphy fine art.

Last Thursday Sept 30th
The Living Room
1422 NE Alberta St
5-8pm


After a career in graphic design, Michael Kelley has pursued a slightly different road into letterpress. He has operated the Pushmepullyou Press in Portland for 15 years, and enjoys combining graphic design with the crafts of typesetting, linoleum ca
rving, printing and bookbinding, which continues to provide creative challenges.


Rebecca Wild is an artist and calligrapher in Portland. Her work pairs her love of letterforms and calligraphy with the luminous characteristics of drawing materials and paint. The work represented in this show, Word Play, reflects a broad usage of text as a tool for both conveying message and creating abstraction. She teaches at Portland Community College, Oregon College of Art and Craft and Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. To view more of her work visit rwildletterart.blogspot.com.
