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.

Third Tuesday Authors: Mitzi Asai Loftus & David Loftus
2026-05-19 19:00 - 20:00 | Lake Theater & Cafe, 106 N State St, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Third Tuesday Authors: Mitzi Asai Loftus & David Loftus Tuesday, May 19, 7:00 – 8:00 pm Lake Theater & Cafe, 106 North State Street Lake Oswego Public Library’s Third Tuesday Author program is pleased to present From Thorns to Blossoms: A Japanese American Family in War and Peace with authors Mitzi Asai Loftus and David Loftus. Born on a fruit orchard in Hood River, Oregon, in 1932, Mitzi Asai Loftus spent three years of her childhood in government incarceration camps in California and Wyoming. For more than seventy years, she has given public talks about her family’s experience to audiences of all ages. Having lived much of her adult life in Eugene and Coos Bay, she now resides in Ashland. A lifelong Oregonian like his mother, David Loftus grew up in Eugene and Coos Bay. He has lived in the Portland area since 1991. A professional editor, proofreader, and writer, he has worked as a newspaper reporter and authored three books in addition to From Thorns to Blossoms. David also reads literature aloud at libraries, coffee shops, pubs, and his residence in Northwest Portland, in a series he calls “Story Time for Grownups.” He has acted in indie films, commercial video, and on many local stages and Shakespeare-in-the-Parks productions. You might recall seeing him as Chief Sitting Bull in a Lakewood Theatre Company production of “Annie Get Your Gun,” as well as “Arcadia” and “City of Angels.” This program is aligned with One Book, One Coast, a multi-state community reading initiative that invites readers to engage with ideas and concepts from the book, They Called Us Enemy, by George Takei. Details about One Book, One Coast and other opportunities to participate can be found on the LINCC website.
This event is made possible through the sponsorship of the Friends of the Lake Oswego Public Library, and is presented in cooperation with the Lake Theater & Cafe. Admission is free and no ticket is required (though food and drink purchases are encouraged to offset the cost to the Lake Theater).
Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the presentation begins at 7:00 pm. Lake Theater & Cafe is located at 106 North State Street, Lake Oswego. For more information, contact Alicia Yokoyama at 503-534-4228 or ayokoyama@lakeoswego.city.

Intro To The Myth of Tea
2026-05-21 18:30 - 20:30 | Cup of Tea, 10117 SE Sunnyside Rd, Clackamas, OR, 97015, United States
Introduction to the 5 major tea types and ceremonial tea.
Join us for an introduction to the five major types of tea; green, white, oolong, black, and dark tea. Together we will explore the origins of Camellia sinensis, trace its history and cultural roots, and experience the art of gongfu ceremonial tea service. This class is an invitation to step into the magic, wonder, and devotion that tea inspires, while learning how its many expressions continue to connect us to the natural world and our human nature.
This gathering is offered with a suggested contribution of $35. In the spirit of inclusivity and balance, you are welcome to offer what feels right for you, whether that is $35, $25, or more if you have the means. Contributions above the suggested amount help make this experience accessible to those with financial need and sustain the ongoing care and energy poured into holding spaces like this. Every offering, whether financial or energetic, affirms the value of community supported education.
We also acknowledge the systemic barriers that have long limited access for BIPOC communities. To honor this, a $15 option is available for BIPOC participants who would benefit from it. This is one way we commit to equity, ensuring that diversity is not only welcomed but integral to the richness of the experience.
If the listed prices are still a barrier, please reach out directly. I am more than willing to work with you to ensure that tea remains within reach for all who feel called to share in it.
All are welcome here. You are invited to arrive exactly as you are and take part in a space rooted in openness, care, and community, a living space where each presence is honored and where we grow together through the deep, transformative beauty of tea.
To help us hold a mindful and welcoming space, we ask participants to be considerate of sensory sensitivities by avoiding strong fragrances. This is a space of gentle awareness, where we honor our own needs as well as those of others. By showing up with openness, care, and respect for each other’s boundaries, we create a collective meditative atmosphere where, tea, and community belonging can flourish.
In the spirit of reciprocity and uplifting community together, five dollars from each participant will be donated to Q Center, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ2SIA+ communities through advocacy, resources, and safe spaces, embodying tea’s spirit of connection, reflection, healing, and belonging.
This class is led by D’Guar (they/them), a trans person of color, tea guide, and community builder based in Portland, Oregon. D’Guar has devoted their path to exploring the spirit of Camellia sinensis through mindful practice, storytelling, and connection. Through their project Water Fairy Tea, they create spaces where tea becomes a bridge between nature, presence, and belonging. Their offerings weave education with devotion, inviting participants to meet tea not only as a beverage, but as a living companion in self discovery and community care with nature and the world around.
We acknowledge that this work takes place on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Clackamas, Chinook, Kathlamet, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Indigenous ancestors and communities. We honor their enduring presence, care, and wisdom, and offer gratitude to the land and to the people who have tended it since time immemorial.
