Healing Presence: Paintings by Claudia Dose

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.

Class reviews from current students-
During the last couple of years, I have taken several classes from Louisa: Beginning Watercolor, Mixed Media, as well as several of her one day offerings. Each class has been unique, well planned, and an opportunity for growth and development. Louisa is an excellent teacher. Class-time always includes both learning and doing and having fun. While taking classes I have not only improved my skills but more importantly my creativity has blossomed, and I feel more confident in both areas even if my pieces do not turn out as expected,
I am taking another class this term with Louisa and I am excited to work with her and learn from her, continuing my skill development and enhancing my creativity.

Louisa is the ultimate Art Painting Instructor! I say this because she is an amazingly gifted artist. She is a scholastic instructor with the ability to motivate and convey the skills and nuances of painting to the individual needs of each student. I’m new to oil painting and so very grateful to have Louisa as my instructor. She inspires me and I look forward to continue taking art classes under her expert guidance. LO Parks & Rec is lucky to have her as an instructor!
—Denise M.
Louisa’s watercolor class is the most insightful I have taken. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious! She has taught me to understand color theory and various watercolor application techniques. As a class, we share our work with each other and Louisa provides positive and helpful suggestions. What stood out to me the most, is the one-on-one check ins and advice throughout the class. She is always kind and encouraging, asking if you would like help before offering it. She has inspired me to make watercolor painting a regular part of my life and keep learning! I would absolutely recommend to anyone who has been wanting to learn this craft to take her classes. I will be taking more of Louisa’s classes in the future!

“Louisa Moutos masterfully nurtures both new and practicing artists in their craft. Her easy manner and passion for painting inspires everyone to take the journey in discovering and expressing their own style. Using examples from classic art, photography and everyday observations, she conveys the fundamentals of recognizing color values, shapes and composition, allowing students to engage their artistic eye and confidently approach any subject.
In this relaxed and encouraging studio environment, Louisa takes time with each student, providing helpful demonstrations on color mixing and brush techniques which benefit all learners to get their painting to the next level. I highly recommend Louisa’s class to anyone interested in learning how to paint or artists looking to work in a new medium.”
-Joy C
I never took an oil painting class prior to enrolling in Louisa’s class but really wanted to learn how to paint with oils. I learned so much in this class and had a lot of fun doing it. Louisa is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher, in addition to being a wonderful artist.
She incorporates theory, technique and even some art history into the class making for a very interesting and satisfying curriculum. But the best part is the hands on painting instruction that she offers and her keen eye for helping aspiring artists get the most from our canvas! I could see my paintings improve and my confidence grow with each lesson.

The Glass Menagerie
2026-04-05 14:00 - 17:00, 2026-04-04 19:30 - 22:00 | Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Lakewood Theatre Company is proud to announce its upcoming production of Tennessee Williams’ timeless memory play, The Glass Menagerie. This classic of the American stage is widely regarded as the play that launched Williams’ career. With a story that resonates as strongly today as it did at its 1944 premiere, The Glass Menagerie is a poetic and poignant exploration of family, memory, and the struggle between responsibility and freedom.
The play, directed by Antonio Sonera, opens at Lakewood Theatre on February 27, 2026, and runs through April 5, 2026. Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 7:30 PM, with one Wednesday performance (Mar. 18) at 7:30 PM, one Saturday matinee at 2:00 PM (Mar. 28), and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM on Mar. 1, 8, 15, 22, 28, and April 5. The show’s title sponsors are the Lakewood Center Associates, and the directorial sponsor is the Ronni S. Lacroute Fund of Oregon Community Foundation.
Special Note: On Wednesday, March 18, the theater continues its WOW: 25-35 program. For audience members 35 and under, tickets are $30 each. Use the code WOW30 when purchasing tickets online to receive this discount. At this performance, there will be a complimentary wine tasting one hour before the curtain, courtesy of local vineyards. OLCC rules apply! Bring your ID for the tasting!
The story: Set in St. Louis in the 1930s, it is told through the eyes of Tom Wingfield (Mario Calcagno), who recalls life in a cramped apartment with his formidable mother, Amanda (Luisa Sermol), and his fragile sister, Laura (Ariel Puls). As the family struggles with financial instability and shattered dreams, they pin their hopes on the arrival of Jim O’Conner (Spencer Conway), a “gentleman caller,” for Laura.  More than just a play, The Glass Menagerie is an emotional landscape. It captures the universal ache of looking backward—at the family members we loved, the ones we left behind, and the illusions we build to survive reality. It is a story about the fragility of the human heart, as easily broken as glass.
LTC’s production of The Glass Menagerie is directed by Antonio Sonera. The stage manager is Kristen Hartman. Scenic design is by John Gerth, sound design and music composition is by Matthew B. Zrebski, lighting design is by Kristeen Willis, costume design is by Sherry Ostendorf, properties design is by Shelley Aisner, and the producer is Steve Knox.
