"We make Portland awesome" is a weekly series. I’m interested building our
community of artists by helping us all find out more about each other.

What do you love about Portland?
Portland is mysterious and eerie. It has an intense energy that not everyone can handle. It tends to attract people who have a strong stomach for the strange, who as a result sometimes compete with each other to be the weirdest. It's also hauntingly beautiful but also constantly gloomy. Another Portland paradox!
