About Me

My photo
For Laurie Martin-Cohn, “home” is both here in Oregon and half a world away. Her paintings capture not only the beauty of Oregon, but also take us to the romantic landscapes of her French and Mediterranean ancestry. We see dreamy clouds framing sun washed cities and terra cotta roofs above the shadowed angles of old stone buildings. The magic of her paintbrush pulls these two worlds together for us. It wasn’t always so. Laurie spent 23 years as a high school theatre instructor. Immersing herself in European art and history, something new emerged.. The subtle overtones of Laurie’s paintings tell her unique story while inviting us to explore ours. Laurie’s work has been juried into numerous shows, including those sponsored by Watercolor Society of Oregon. You can see more of Laurie’s work at Spiral Gallery in Estacada, and Three Rivers Gallery in Oregon City. To order her paintings, email lmartcohn@gmail.com.

"A Glimpse of Crown Point", Original Watercolor 16" x 20" matted, $150.


"A Glimpse of Crown Point", Original Watercolor, 16" x 20" matted, $150.
Considered one of the 7 wonders of Oregon, the Columbia River Gorge opens up around the bend near Corbett where one can see the octagonal building on the top of the cliff. This is Crown Point and the building is the Vista House.
The Vista House was built in 1916 at the same time as the Historic Columbia River Gorge Highway, and is the only way to reach Crown Point.  The building was designed to be a place of refreshment and enjoyment of the Columbia Gorge. It is a museum, gift shop and interpretive display of historic and geologic points of interest in the Gorge.
Historic Columbia River Highway Scenic Byway: It’s easy to see why this scenic byway is known as the “King of Roads”; it’s a beautiful mix of visionary architecture, incredible scenery and rich history.
