ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 

MARCELLA KRIEBEL

Marcella Kriebel has always been an artist and foodie, with barefoot gardening and bright paints reflected in her earliest memories. A love of art and culture-through-cuisine led her to receive degrees in Studio Art and Cultural Anthropology, a combination that springboarded her into travelling, journaling, and cooking in numerous Latin American countries. Marcella moved to Washington, D.C. for an internship at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and now splits her time between her Native Pacific Northwest and Washington, DC while continuing to travel to keep the creativity flowing. Her retail shop is located on the Brookland Arts Walk in Washington, DC, and she is an active member of the Arts Community in Hood River, Oregon.

JORDAN KIM 

Having grown up among artists and playing in the creeks and

woods around her home, Jordan Kim has always had deep love

for both art and the natural world. She holds an advanced degree

in environmental management and worked for many years as an

ecologist before turning her attention full time to her art

business, Found & Rewound. Jordan makes paper collages with

a twist. People often describe her work as “painting with paper.”

She uses re-purposed paper (junk mail, magazines, packaging,

etc.) to create intricate collages and often incorporates hidden

messages into her art. Her debut picture book, “I am the Thirsty

Desert,” was published by Mim’s House Books with author

Darcy Pattison in March of 2023. Jordan’s mission is to inspire

us to honor our connection to each other and the natural world.

Jordan lives in Parkdale, Oregon near Mt. Hood, in the heart of

the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. You can learn more about Jordan, her artwork, and classes on her website.
