Blaine Fontana 4605 SW Washington Ave., Beaverton, OR 97005

Angela Ridgway 12472 SW Broadway St., Beaverton, OR 97005

Artist Blaine Fontana wanted to create an homage to Japanese filmmaker and animator Hayao Miyazaki, who is an influence on his work. This mural was painted in partnership with Forest for the Trees, a non profit project based in Portland.

This piece was on display at the old Art on Broadway Gallery before the city of Beaverton bought it to display outside. It’s made from repurposed curved metal panels with welded tree branches and a rising sun on opposite sides.

This mural was painted in partnership with Forest for the Trees, a non profit project based in Portland. The portrait is created entirely from spray paint.

‘Gather’ depicts a kaleidoscope of giant Fender’s Blue butterflies migrating from the brush of Beaverton creek to the Creekside garage, entering the structure through a huge open sliding door. One butterfly on either side float out past the edge of the garage, adding to their feeling of lightness and flight.

HAMPTON RODRIGUEZ MURAL

LARRY KANGAS MURAL

Larry Kangas; completed by Sandy Kangas and Allison McClay 4670 SW Washington Ave., Beaverton, OR 97005

Rodriguez worked with Nak Won owner Moon Lee to create a piece that shows how businesses have adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Larry Kangas painted more than 1,000 murals in his life before dying from Lymphoma. His spirit lives on in this mural, which was finished by his wife Sandy and fellow artist Allison McClay. The hummingbird was added in his memory.

RATHER SEVERE MURAL

Rather Severe 12570 SW Farmington Rd., Beaverton, OR 97005

Hector Hernandez 2590 SW Broadway St., Beaverton, OR 97005

Artist Hector Hernandez worked with 15 students from Merlo Station High School in Beaverton to create this mural, which represents the solar system, early Beaverton, global warming and technological development that offers hope to the next generation.

This mural depicts dance, costumes and cultural references to celebrate Beaverton’s diversity. It took seven months for artists Jon Stommel and Travis Czekalski (together known as Rather Severe) to finish the work.

SINGING SKY

This interactive piece is a fully mechanical musical bench.

Can you name the tune? This is one of four “Musical Benches” installed in 2020 by Tualatin Valley Creates.

Singing Sky was created with a theme of diversity for the Beaverton Arts Commission’s goal to “incorporate significant and accessible works of art that embrace Beaverton’s diverse traditions and history.”

RIBBON

UNTITLED

Jason Klimoski & Lesley Chang, Studio KCA Patricia Reser Center for the Arts 2625 SW Crescent St., Beaverton, OR 97005

Susan Charnquist 12475 SW 1st St., Beaverton, OR 97005

12

There is a compelling formal dialogue between the curved walls that define the main stage at the heart of the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, and the creek that sits just outside of it. Like a ribbon controlled by a performer in a dance or caught in a sudden breeze, the back walls of the stage shape and define space for action, echoing Beaverton Creek’s arcs and eddies.

This mural, created by Beaverton artist, Susan Charnquist explores an intersection of how being engulfed by nature can sometimes feel like home. The angles of looking up through the tree trunks and seeing the reflected light of the chandelier on the bottom of the canopy evoke an eeriness.

WILSON MURAL

THREE CREEKS, ONE WILL

Gina Wilson 12475 SW 1st St., Beaverton, OR 97005

Devin Laurence Field South Plaza at The Round The Round 12725 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton, OR 97005

13

15

Artist Devin Laurence Field said he had always thought The Round needed a piece of art to anchor it. He eventually became the one to provide that piece. The nearly 40-foot tall sculpture links Beaverton’s wetlands origins to its modern efforts to revitalize its waterways.

Artist Gina Wilson’s husband inspired her to paint this mural after getting “tired of looking at a blank wall.” The City of Beaverton actually changed a law to allow murals to be designated art instead of signage in order to make this project happen.

TWO BLONDS AND A REDHEAD Blaine Fontana 12520 SW Farmington Rd., Beaverton, OR 97005

COMMON THREADS

Addie Boswell, Van Cooley, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos) & Antwoine Thomas Beaverton Central Garage 3923 SW Rose Biggi Ave., Beaverton, OR 97005

16

Artist Blaine Fontana described the figures as feminine power totems. Fontana painted this mural with aerosol completely freestyle. This mural was painted in partnership with Forest for the Trees, a non profit project based in Portland.

Creativity thrives when there is a foundation to build upon.

In Common Threads, two child artists, representing the creative future, grow out of Beaverton’s history. Repeated patterns reference the bounty of nature, indigenous art forms and modern industry.

Cornelius MONSTER MURAL Ryan Burke 1459 E Baseline St., Cornelius, OR 97113

17 This abstract monster mural was painted by Necropolis Tattoo Shop owner/artist Ryan Burke, who specializes in horror, anime, gamer, movie, comic and pop culture tattoo designs.

It’s a dramatic contrast to the mural of old-time Cornelius.

ST. ALEXANDER CATHOLIC CHURCH | SAN ALEJANDRO Emily Lux 170 N 10th Ave., Cornelius, OR 97113

18 The mural celebrates the past and present of the congregation. The congregation of St. Alexander Parish was invited to give input on the design and submit photos of people to include. Nearly 100 volunteer children and parents joined the painting of the rough draft.

Wild animals gather for chilled refreshments as a tiger exposes the wild bunch by tearing open the wall to unsuspecting onlookers.

This is one of three benches commissioned as part of Forest Grove’s first commissioned art. It shows another facet of artist Eric Canon’s work. Canon creates both industrial metal work and sculptural metal work.

Depicting an enchanting view of the Tualatin Valley, this mural is based on Travel Oregon’s whimsical “Only Slightly Exaggerated” advertising campaign. The billboard-sized mural was painted by Beaverton artist Holly Henderson and celebrates Forest Grove’s and Tualatin Valley’s rich wine history.

Theatre in the Grove produced its first show (“South Pacific”) in 1969, and is one of Oregon’s oldest community theatres.

Emily Lux painted the marquee in 2009.

Whirligigs and metalwork by Eric Canon.

Artist Emily Lux and the Maraki Market owner wanted to give the community something positive to look at along Main Street. The idea was to create a bright spot and an “explosion of life” during a dark time amid the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020. The artist’s 11-year-old son joined her as an apprentice.

The nearly 7’ tall, Asian-inspired bench features a hanging double mallet that when pushed against the cylinder creates a long, low tone that reverberates through the air.

As Hillsboro’s largest and newest artwork, this piece’s undulating forms, reminiscent of the curves of a topological map, take their cue from the gentle peaks and valleys of the surrounding Tualatin Hills.

High school students contributed ideas for the design of these gates and got to see their ideas grow like plants from simple drawings into laser cut steel art.

Native American artist Lillian Pitt wanted to give everyone the chance to see ancient symbols found at sacred sites in the Columbia River Gorge. The stone pieces feature reproductions of petroglyphs carved in the riverbed.

The pavers were part of the library renovation and the designs were inspired by the Douglas fir motifs etched in the library windows as well as Native American rock art.

In the mural design, the tracks tie the site and concept of the mural together in a lyrical way and also provide a sense of growth and a visual timeline. The train established in the 1800’s, automobile styles that cross decades, dates and numbers, all add to this. Other farmyard animals reflect the agrarian culture of the area, historically and present day.

This mural was painted by Jeremy Nichols with the help of local historian, Sean Garvey, and ecology specialists in the city. The mural depicts a member of the Kalapuya tribe, the indigenous inhabitants of the Tigard area, alongside native flora and fauna, including red-tailed hawk, western painted turtle, great blue heron, Oregon iris and camas flowers.

This sculpture was made as a tribute to the Hervin Pet Food plant, which previously occupied the Tualatin Commons space. The company changed Tualatin from an agricultural town to an industrial center and grew with the company’s delivery catchphrase “Going to the Dogs.” The artist was inspired by his own dog begging for food from his daughter.

This piece was inspired by the attentive faces of the artist’s own children as the listened to each new “Harry Potter” audio book. She was struck with the importances of artistry the storyteller bringing the story to life.
