From the press releases:
Artist Bio
In spite of never getting her pictures on the bulletin board as a child, Char Breshgold has been a working and exhibiting artist for 40 years. She paints, often from photos, using her art to tell stories. She also incorporates collage in handmade books and multi-layered paintings. During the 1980s she was a member of The Girl Artists. A five woman, feminist collaborative group whose archives have recently been acquired by The Smithsonian Archive of American Art. She began creating hybrid flash memoir pieces with words & images 4 years ago and will have her first published pieces in Prism, International- August 2024.
View as a Designer
Char wants to make quality design accessible.
Working collaboratively with clients–no matter how small or grand their projects–she helps them to define their vision and in turn creates beautiful and successful designs.
Having worked as a designer since 1998 she discovered a love of branding, type and telling stories visually. She worked in newspapers and as Creative Services Manager for New Seasons Market for 6 years before starting CB Art & Design in 2015. Her long history in Portland has connected her to many communities; from farmers and chefs who grow and sell their food to artists, dancers and hunger relief non-profits. She loves helping people make their stories visible and is passionate about the power of connecting with an audience both through design and her work as an artist. When not working she loves to hike and spend time in the garden
