Jane Bebee is a Portland gallerist. Her gallery, PDX Contemporary, is one of Portland's smartest. They have a consistent minimalist-quiet vibe. They participate in out of town art fairs, exporting Portland gallery artists to the big art world. Bebee worked as assistant for years at the Jameson-Thomas gallery, bridging Portland-NW regionalism with New York collectors. With the death of William Jameson from AIDS, Bebee established her own gallery.
