We make Portland awesome: BleuOiseau

"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.

This week: Ashleigh of BleuOiseau

Who are you?

Besides making things, what do you do?
I am an avid birder as well as runner. I love reading and embroidery.

What inspires you?
I hold a degree in Resource Biology and therefore nature inspires most of my fine art.

What do you love about Portland?
Since I live out in the “country”, I love everything about Portland. I love that it is a decent sized city and yet feels down to earth. I love that there is a great biking community, that it is child friendly. The zoo right outside of town is so fun to take my kids to and I love Portland’s Audubon chapter, with their great hiking trail right outside of town!
