On Tuesday, June 20, 2023, at 11.30am Joseph Gallivan interviews Nancy Truszkowski, Executive Director, and Joanne Radmilovich Kollman, oil painting instructor, of the Oregon Society of Artists, about their annual Rose Festival show, which is on now through June 28. They talk about how the Society was formed by a conservative splinter group from the Museum School, how locals can enter a group show every month, and how students are trained to master their medium with what Kollman calls “1,000 starts”.
This interview was recorded on June 15, 2023, using Zoom H2n recorder and engineered by KBOO volunteer Ray Bodwell. https://kboo.fm/blog/55224

Joanne Radmilovich Kollman is a Northwest oil painter; her representational paintings of the figure, landscape and still life are earmarked by a lyrical style and unique eye for design. Brushwork and use of broken color elicit movement and spontaneity in her paintings. As a representational alla prima oil painter, her surroundings are her motivation to explore her subjects with the expressive quality of oil paint. She strives to capture energy in her work through brushwork and observation of changing light. Joanne paints daily from the model, still life, or landscape and will be offering a spring Portrait/Figure workshop at Oregon Society of Artists in May 2023 https://canvas.osartists.org/classes/804.
