Healing Presence: Paintings by Claudia Dose
2026-05-14 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-13 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-12 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-11 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-10 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-09 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-05-08 10:00 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Willamette Falls Medical Center, 1500 Division St, Oregon City, OR, 97045, United States
A selection of intuitive, mixed-media paintings by Oregon-based artist Claudia Dose, currently on view as part of a Clackamas County Arts Alliance exhibition in a local hospital setting.
These works are created through a process of listening and allowing form to emerge, rather than planning or control. The paintings explore themes of inner movement, openness, and the subtle threshold between tension and release.
Placed within a healthcare environment, the intention is simple: to offer moments of pause, reflection, and quiet connection for patients, visitors, and staff.
This exhibition is part of a broader Arts Alliance initiative bringing original artwork into community spaces.

Featuring one of the greatest musical scores of all time, Funny Girl includes timeless classics like “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “People,” and much more.
