This gallery grew out of Office of Health Equity’s Health Equity Action Plan efforts to increase awareness of the significance of health disparities, their impact on the nation, and the actions necessary to improve health outcomes for racial, ethnic, and underserved populations. Current Exhibition: Showcasing Military Family Artists This project presents the work of two artists who are family members of individuals that have longstanding careers serving their country in the United States Army and continued service to the Veterans they served with. Mel Latthitham and Milan Viboolsittiseri are Portland artists. They are also family members of individuals that have longstanding careers serving their country in the United States Army and continued service to the Veterans they served with. Mel is a caregiver who creates textile prints, stuffed animals, and magnets. Her equally talented son, Milan, is also a regular in the Portland handmade artisanal art scene. Milan's hand-drawn creations are featured on computer stickers, postcards, and buttons. The family blends all their creative energy into holistic art projects that engage nature, art, and exercise."

DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
