• Public Art “Lunar Obelisk” in Lake Oswego

“Lunar Obelisk” by Jim and Shannon Willis

My father, Jim Willis, and I have created a piece of public art for the city of Lake Oswego. The work entitled “Lunar Obelisk” is a tribute to our closes neighbor the moon. The piece is over 10′ high and is made of ferro cement and copper. Who knows how much it weighs! We plan on doing more public in the future.

I haven’t taken new photos but I have a lot of work that I have finished recently. I am getting ready for my open studio in October. If you would like an invite to the show please make sure you add your email to my mailing list.

• Guide Dog Puppy Gerard

I started volunteering for Guide Dogs for the Blind and I have my first puppy to raise. His name is Gerard (we don’t name them) and he is a 6 month old yellow lab. He is a handful but a lot of fun. He will go back to training when he is between 12-14 months old and get then get introduced to his new partner for another month of training. It will be hard to give him up, he is such a sweetheart but I know he will make someone a very good partner and guide.
