About the Artists

Avery McDowell is a multidisciplinary artist from Portland, OR. Her work draws on personal experiences with gender, disability, and navigating the modern social landscape as a person it wasn’t designed for. McDowell’s current work centers around self-representation and how disabled people are systematically excluded from conversations around sex and relationships. During her residency with The Arts Center, McDowell is continuing her work with self-representation, serendipity, and fate through a combination of ceramics, textile craft, and painting.

Eva Israelsen is a multidisciplinary artist based in Oregon. Her work plays with the interaction of various materials including porcelain, textiles, steel, paint, and performance, and centers on her life and personal experiences. Israelsen graduated from Oregon State University in 2025 with her BFA in Studio Art and is currently an Artist in Residence at The Arts Center, exploring themes of personal growth and nostalgia through the combination porcelain, painting, and soldered steel.

Aspen McCallum is a multimedia artist working with the themes of memory, personal experience, and fantasy. A Pacific Northwest artist, born in Washington state and raised in Colorado, McCallum currently resides in Oregon. They completed their undergraduate degree in 2025 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and a minor in Art History from Oregon State University. McCallum’s practice encompasses many types of media including printmaking, collage, and crochet. You can find more of their work on Instagram @ampm_artwork
