Elise Wagner is a longtime Portland painter. She has made a lot of firmly abstract work, some inspired by science research. She has done a lot with encaustics, formulating media, and teaching workshops. She added a printmaking practice of colographs. In honor of relocating to Astoria, she is having one last show and studio sale in Overlook.
