Shae Matthew Whalen at Willamette International Travel
April 15 - June 2, 2025
Irving Street Lofts
1314 NW Irving St.
STE 101
Portland, OR 97209“Art saved my life, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t get to make it. The shadow side of artists is that we are all thief’s…we kind of steal imagery from experiences we have, this inspiration turns into paying homage to our influences by creating.
Major influences for me are rivers… mountains… cities etc. I’ve spent my whole life outside and have been homeless since I was nine so I am profoundly connected to nature as source material."
Shae has 5 works on display at Willamette International Travel, a local travel agency company and partner of ours.
