Her painting, “In a Perfect World… Black Lives Matter”, is a collage of images of people who have made a difference in the last year, raising awareness about racial inequities and an inclusive future.

When Things Get Messy: The Productive Reactions to Destruction
Tim Harford | International Bestseller, BBC Radio Host, Economist, TED Speaker
Tim Harford has been described as ‘perhaps the best popular economics writer in the world’. He is a behavioral economist, BBC radio and TV presenter, and award-winning Financial Times columnist. Sometimes called ‘Britain’s Malcolm Gladwell’, Tim offers a distinctive blend of storytelling, humor and intelligence.
He has written nine books, including The Undercover Economist, which has sold nearly 2 million copies in over 30 languages. His BBC Radio 4 series, More or Less, offers a genial smackdown of dubious statistics, while his BBC World Service radio series Fifty Things That Made the Modern Economy was a critical success and iTunes topper. Tim’s most recent book, The Data Detective, was released this past February and his writing has won several prestigious awards, including the Bastiat Prize for economic journalism (2006 and 2016), Science and Data Commentator of the Year (2018) and more.
Tim is the only journalist to be an honorary fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, has given numerous invited lectures (including at Google) and three TED talks, which have alone been viewed nearly 10 million times.
“He’s a genius at telling stories that illuminate our world.” – Malcolm Gladwell

Most of us relate to water as an essential element for survival, rarely considering how water has effects nearly everything we encounter in life. Join us in witnessing water in a whole new context.
Since his iconic photograph and subsequent sold-out poster of Mt. Bachelor over 25 years ago, Bruce’s finely tuned eye for the eloquence of nature, and patience in getting the perfect shot, has made him one of Oregon’s most loved photographers. From natures abstractions to the panoramic landscape in all of its majesty, he finds the precise moment to capture the essence of his subjects and has won numerous awards for his stunning photographs.
