Can Portland Artists Survive the City’s New Gilded Age?
A property boom means mass evictions and escalating rents. What does that mean for our creative scene?
“They gave us 60 days’ eviction notice,” says Kailee McMurran, a graphic artist whose company Design by Goats, cofounded with partner Duke Stebbins, operated out of Towne Storage. “Before we found a new space,” she says, “we went to four or five different places, which were more expensive than our Towne studio and smaller. We were getting to the point of asking, ‘Should we stay in Portland? It’s not looking like this is going to be the greatest place to have a studio.’”
“It was a shock,” says David Abel, a writer who owns Passages Bookshop, which specializes in fine and rare books and early editions. Abel had just settled Passages on Towne Storage’s fifth floor less than a year before, sharing a space with Division Leap, another niche bookstore. The eviction notice plunged him back into the hunt for a home.

As a maker of photography I feel that people, expression and presentation are all factors to execute an effective portrait. To encapsulate the essence of a person is to connect and engage while giving the individual an opportunity to, within a second of time, express who they are.
The photographs below were made in studio at The Art Institute of Portland during my BFA program. The subjects range from strangers, faculty, friends and other photo students.
