Abstract Expressions: Willamette Abstract Group

February 26 – March 26, 2027

Opening Reception: Friday, February (4 - 6PM)

Cannon Beach Gallery welcomes the Willamette Abstract Group for an exhibition celebrating the freedom, emotion, and imagination of abstract art. Featuring the work of Billy Biondi, David Goodrum, Rachel Wood, Lee Morrison, Suzanne Getz, Mary Brutsaert, Ian Sampler, and Olivia Rivers Gándara, this exhibition brings together a range of artistic perspectives that move beyond literal representation to explore color, shape, movement, texture, and feeling.

The artists of the Willamette Abstract Group believe abstract art is not bound by rigid definitions or rules. Instead, each artist determines what abstraction means within their own work, creating pieces that express personal ideas, emotions, and experiences. Each artwork invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and discover their own interpretations.
