ART & CULTURE
MEET THE ARTIST
LYNSEY NELSON
PRINTMAKING WITH A FOCUS ON RELIEF AND SCREENPRINT By Courtney Smith
L
"Bug Girls" Relief Print
ynsey has been an artist for her whole life. Both of her parents are printmakers and as a family they have always done art projects and gone to events and museums together. In short, art has always been a huge factor in Lynsey’s life and family. Currently they own a little printmaking shop in Nevada. Lynsey has her Bachelor of Art in photography and moved to Oregon in 2014 to get her Masters of Fine Art in Printmaking from Pacific Northwest College of Art. Oregon has been so welcoming to Lynsey as an artist and she is so happy to be a part of the artistic community here. There are a huge number of events for artists to be involved in themselves, or just to go to and enjoy the work of others. Galleries that open their doors to an artist always want them to be involved and make sure their vision is created. Even the Portland Art Museum went above and beyond when they hosted a Steam Roller event "Keeper of Secrets" for Relief Printmakers where they printed Relief Print large work, gave copies to the artists who participated and asked for nothing except to pay it forward to fellow artists when they need it. Printmaking is a complicated process with many steps involved. For the Relief portion of Lynsey’s printmaking, which is usually printed in black, she carves linoleum blocks then prints this on very thin Japanese paper called Gampi. For the Screenprint portions of printmaking, she uses light blocking opaque pens to draw a negative, then exposes this negative onto 12 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2020
a screen (a fine mesh square frame) and then prints from this screen onto paper. Once these are printed Lynsey hand cuts and hand colors all of them.They are usually small plant images and it takes a day or two to cut all of them out. Once Lynsey has the lino print and all of the screenprint flowers, she begins to merge them together into one whole image; placing all of the plants on the back of the Gampi paper and seams them together (using an old Japanese wheat pasting technique) to create an image. Depending on her plan for the piece she then will sometimes add prints to the front to give it a bit of dimension.
"Hariasa: Goddess with Lots of Hair" Relief Print
Lynsey’s inspiration has come from many different places. Her current work primarily has been focusing a lot on the forgotten goddess within different cultures or religions. Lynsey takes these myths of legends and recreated them into a modern interpretation of style and looks. This is just the surface level. Within all of Lynsey’s work, she transforms the ancient into new to seek a better understanding of what beauty, strength and identity truly means. In her own words, “There is a misconception that people place on women when it comes to strength, inner beauty and being mentally strong. We can take whatever comes our way. Within this work I seek to redefine the terms of strength, what femininity means to me and what beauty is beyond the surface.” Lynsey is passionate about art and she volunteers at a printmaking department/studio on the weekends where she helps students and faculty with equipment, technique and instruction. She also has been participating in local art walks in the community since she graduated. You can commission Lynsey to create something or purchase her work by contacting her at LRCprintmaking@gmail.com or through instagram @lynsey_nelson. You can also visit her website at lynseynelson.com.

Mother’sDay WHILE SOCIAL DISTANCING
THINGS TO DO FOR
W
ith the official advice to avoid all non-essential contact to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, many people won’t be able to be with their moms in person this Mother’s Day. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t mark the occasion. If you get creative, you can still develop a sense of emotional closeness during this time of physical isolation.
Here are a few suggestions: 1) MOVIE DAY
Pick a movie or a show that both you and your mom will love and start watching it in your separate homes simultaneously, messaging each other your thoughts in real time. Netflix offers something called a ‘Netflix Party’ - a Chrome extension which enables multiple people to watch the same thing at the same time from different locations. It’s a great way to ensure you’re watching at the same pace so one person doesn’t give away any spoilers! You could even video call one another to chat while you watch.
2) HOME SPA
Create a home-spa experience by deciding on some pampering DIY treatments, and doing them at the same time, while keeping in contact throughout each ‘treatment.’ These could include enjoying a warm bubble bath, a facemask or treating yourself to a manicure or pedicure.
3) COFFEE SPREAD
Arrange your own little tea/coffee date by making your favorite hot drink at home and calling each other for a good catch up on the phone or video chat. Reminisce about your favorite memories, or make some plans for the first thing you’ll do together once you can connect in person again.
4) DINNER FROM AFAR
If you can’t get to your favorite restaurant to have a meal together, pick a meal you both love, or two separate meals that you both would have chosen if you were eating out, and prepare it. 14 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2020
by Courtney Smith, Active Media Contributing Writer
Try video calling while cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or when you’re eating your starter, main and dessert, having the same conversations you would have over the table when eating out. If you’d prefer to bake, get out the mixing bowl and compare your creations.
5) LEARN A NEW SKILL
Choose a hobby or skill you both want to get better at and spend a few hours of the day practicing your newly honed skills. You can converse throughout the day on how you’re doing, share images of your creations and then share the completed work with each other in person when it is safe to do so.
6) STAR GAZE
Wait for nighttime, assuming there’s a clear sky, sit outside and star gaze. Take a night-time picnic out in the garden with you. Whether you’re in the same area or miles apart, you’ll likely be able to see the same stars. You don’t have to be in the same room to enjoy quality time together – and the stars are a great way for making people feel in tune with their loved ones and closer to home.
7) PLAY GAMES TOGETHER
There are plenty of games you can play together from a distance, and not just on video game consoles. Popular board games, like Scrabble and Monopoly, have app versions that you can play from your separate devices. You can also do a zoom or google hangout game day.
8) DRIVE OUT
Take a trip out to a picturesque spot or viewpoint in your separate vehicles and take an in-car picnic. Call each other or sit in the back of your cars once you park and have a chat while enjoying your goodies. You’re still practicing social distancing if you’re staying in the car, but you’ll get to see them in person and feel a sense of togetherness.

Chef Tull dedicated himself to arriving early and staying late, putting himself through the school of hard knocks. As he moved through the country, gathering new inspiration from the 30 restaurants he was so blessed work in, nothing stopped this determined young chef from cultivating his passion. In Las Vegas, Pendleton, Portland and Bend, each kitchen he stepped foot into shaped the journey he was on to becoming a top-tier chef.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Northwest Professionalism Chimcare Chimney Service
C
himcare strives to be the leader in the chimney and fireplace industry. They are committed to providing customers with the highest quality service at affordable pricing, and are known throughout the Northwest for professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction. In 1989, Richard Peralta began a small chimney sweeping company in Canby, Oregon in order to help support his growing family. Richard started the business on a part-time basis to provide extra income for his family of eight, while working full time for UPS. After five years of hard work and dedication to his customers, he was able to leave his day job and pursue the business full time. Richard built the business from the ground up by providing dependable, quality service that is still trusted to this day. Thanks to his incredible dedication to the craft, integrity, and impeccable customer care, Richard’s business quickly grew into the chimney repair and cleaning company that carries on his legacy today. Many of Richard’s first customers are still with Chimcare LLC today, along with their family and friends. Chimcare is very proud that the majority of their business is from loyal repeat customers and their referrals. As they have grown, Chimcare has expanded with additional locations in order to service the greater Portland and Seattle areas. Their chimney professionals can service homes and businesses as far north as Everett, Washington and as far south as Salem. Along with providing chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair services, the great team at Chimcare can also help transform your outdoor living space by constructing a beautiful outdoor fireplace for you to enjoy all year round. They are experts 22 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2020
at chimney construction and masonry, and their work is so good that they have also branched out to doing special projects like patios, retaining walls, fire pits, walkways, and pretty much anything that can be done with brick and mortar. In 2005 Richard’s sons Jesse and Daniel took over the business. While these two keep Chimcare running, Richard now dedicates his time to community outreach projects that he is passionate about. Jesse and Daniel remain committed to not only keeping up with the level of service that their father provided for many years, but working to exceed it. They want to go above and beyond for each and every customer. Along with the current customer base, Jesse is working hard to expand Chimcare as his father had always dreamed. They are always looking to serve new customers who are searching for clean-cut service technicians with experience, quality workmanship, and a name that is trusted around the northwest. They are proud to carry on the Peralta family tradition of providing exemplary chimney care for you and your home. If you have any questions or want to inquire about their services, you can visit their website at https://www.chimcare.com, or call them at (800) 362-4840.

It’s a seller’s market right now and here’s why...
A
Written by Courtney Smith
seller’s market occurs when demand exceeds supply, or there are more buyers seeking to purchase homes than there are available homes on the market. This often leads to multiple buyers being interested in a single property, resulting in bidding wars.
seller has the advantage. If other buyers are interested in the same property you’re making an offer on, trying to get a lower sale price probably won’t work to your advantage. In fact, you could lose the opportunity to purchase the property altogether if a competing buyer makes a higher offer. The Regional Multiple Listing Service (RMLS) shows that in the first 21 days of April 2019, 1253 homes in Portland went pending and eventually sold. For the same time period this year, at least 1009 homes have gone pending. Seller’s markets are sometimes called “renter’s markets” for this reason; sometimes potential buyers need to keep renting until they can save up a higher down payment and compete with other buyers in the market.
A seller’s market is a fantastic time to sell your home as you could secure a sale price that’s higher than your listing price, or at least more than your bottom line (the lowest price you’d be willing to accept for your home). If you’re buying a home in a seller’s market, be aware that the 26 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2020
The real estate market goes up and down depending on the season, and with the global pandemic situation everyone was expecting the housing market to crash just like it did in 2008. Thankfully it’s doing the opposite. The difference between a buyer’s market or a seller’s market also depends on the area. Cities with a lot of available jobs and growing industries will often be a seller’s market, while those with struggling economies will be a buyer’s market. Currently, Oregon is the least expensive state on the West Coast to live in.
One way to determine if it’s a buyer’s market or a seller’s market is to look at inventory, or the number of homes for sale. This should be left to your Real Estate Agent so they can help direct you. Trends are changing from previous years, lenders are tightening the regulations of what they approve, and it’s important that you seek guidance from professionals that know the market and what could be best for you, either as the buyer or seller. Showings are up about 19% based on lockbox openings reported by RMLS. Given the current situation that is facing all of us right now, Beltran Properties Group is taking extra precautions to help keep everyone safe. To comply with the state’s regulations of social distancing and health expectations, they are giving buyers and sellers many different options to view homes, screening everyone, and making sure that only serious ready-to-act buyers come first at this time. When they show a house, Beltran Properties Group is providing masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. When they are done they go through the house and wipe everything down with Lysol. Healthy environments are happy environments. Sales are not stopping, and Real Estate is an essential business that has not shut down. New pendings have been trending up
since the beginning of April. The 7 day rolling average moved from 316 pendings on April 5th to 474 on April 21st. Business is still moving forward and Beltran Properties Group is still going the extra mile to make sure their clients are taken care of. Top of the line photography is something that they ensure is available for every listing, and now you have the option to go on a virtual walk-through tour with their high quality Matterport Camera. This allows anyone to walk in and out of rooms virtually and experience the home as if you were there personally. Social distancing is difficult, but it isn’t impossible to experience buying a home virtually and safely. If you have questions about the market today or are interested in buying or selling your home, contact Beltran Properties Group today. You can meet your Real Estate Expert virtually to plan your future. Feel free to call 503.502.3330 or email them at jaimy@beltranproperties. com with any questions you have. They’d love to help!

BUILDING BUSINESS - BUILDING COMMUNITY Dear Wilsonville Community: As I write you this letter, it’s April 22nd and we all continue to operate our businesses under and honor Governor Brown’s Stay Home Save Lives Executive Order. The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously impacted all our Wilsonville businesses. Every day when I speak with our small, medium and large businesses I hear inspirational stories. These business owners and managers are working very hard and creatively to keep their doors virtually open to serve their customers. They are working diligently to ensure the safety of their employees with new protocols for both real world and remote work. I’d like to make a big shout out and thank you to our Wilsonville City Council for the very important and positive action they took at the April 20th council meeting to fund a $400,000 grant program to provide immediate assistance to small local businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was the final step in a process that began on March 17th when the Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce contacted City leadership and expressed serious concerns that the coronavirus was having dire negative impacts on our business community. We dialogued with the City for several weeks and then at the April 6th City Council we formally requested that the City create a small business relief fund. The City Council agreed and created a Charter task force in which they invited the Chamber to participate. In just a week via a very collegial and collaborative effort we all worked together to create a draft relief plan. This is an excellent example of how business and government working together can

make a huge positive difference in Wilsonville. These Small Business Relief grant checks are planned to go out in the first part of May and will be a critically important lifeline to help enable our local Wilsonville businesses to survive this coronavirus economic disaster. More positive news: Our City of Wilsonville has been proactive to aid community members experiencing dire financial need. The Council agreed to provide $50,000 in additional funding to Wilsonville Community Sharing, a local non-profit that operates social-assistance programs and the City’s food bank. The funds allow WCS to assist clients with rent payments, prescription medications, and utility payments. A final huge shout out to all our City of Wilsonville employees. They are working long hours in difficult circumstances to make sure that our City’s essential services can still function properly. When you see a City employee please say a big Thank You for their exceptional dedication during this pandemic. If you have ideas on how your Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce can be of assistance in this COVID-19 time (and in normal times when we get back to them), please don’t hesitate to phone or email us.

his month marks 26 years of chiropractic practice for Dr. Laura LaJoie, and she has been in Wilsonville for 25 of those 26 years. Shortly after setting up her practice here, she and her husband followed and they have raised 3 girls in Wilsonville for their entire lives. She began volunteering to work with Wilsonville High School athletes in September of 1995 and has truly enjoyed helping with the recovery, as well as, performance enhancement of

so many local young people. Dr. LaJoie wanted to be a doctor from the time she was in middle school. Her passion for chiropractic care comes from understanding that we live our lives through our nervous system and, while pain is a significant indicator, it is not the only indicator that we can use to improve our overall health performance. Understanding when a person should see a Chiropractor varies from person to person. Her youngest patient has been 4 days old. Dr. LaJoie does lots of newborn checkups to ensure the children are pain free and to confirm that the spine and musculature are in the best possible position for optimal function, growth and development. Her oldest patient is currently 98 years young. She declares that chiropractic “keeps her walking” and that she sleeps better when she gets adjusted every couple of weeks as part of her general well-being. Chiropractic is commonly used for the treatment of headaches, neck and low back pain, but it goes far beyond that. Commonly, Dr. LaJoie sees people with physical symptoms of stress and inflammation. By adjusting the spine and reducing the stress of the symptoms, people are frequently able to move and function better overall. Because Dr. LaJoie has been in town for over 25 years, she has many patients that use her as their primary care provider. Often, they want to know what can be done without drugs and/or surgery and Dr. LaJoie works cooperatively with their MDs when necessary, so that people are getting the best possible healthcare experience with her as part of their team. Joy of Life Chiropractic is involved in the local

community on many levels. They have sponsored most of the high school athletic teams in their programs and/or posters. Dr. LaJoie has spoken to primary, middle and high school students regarding chiropractic as a career. For several years, she got to share nutrition, hydration and training tips with the Wood Middle School track teams, in addition to volunteering as a middle school track coach. A highlight has been being on the sidelines for varsity football games for the past 25 years as part of the sports medicine team. Due to her involvement in Wilsonville Rotary, she has also been able to connect with friends and patients at the Rotary summer concerts, fundraising omelet breakfasts, leadership with the high school Interact club, and via student recognition. One of her favorite events to participate in every year is Fun in the Park because she gets to interact with community members of all ages. Dr. LaJoie’s favorite part about being a chiropractor is working with people. The human body is fascinating to her and every body is different. She especially enjoys working with families and athletes. From children to great-grandparents, weekend warriors to elite athlete, Dr. LaJoie ultimate goal is to help all of her patients continue to live healthy lifestyles for as long as they can. If you would like to get in contact with Dr. LaJoie and her office, you can call them at (503) 682-9596 or visit her website at www. joyoflifechiropractic.com.
