Presenting 24 Portraits of Women who Lead Oregon’s Non Profits

03SelfPortrait56

Three years ago, Artist Theresa Weil was ready to create a large body of artwork showing a technique she had created. For some time she had also been looking for a way to give back to the community by inspiring young women to become leaders. This all came together when she decided to create uniquely crafted portraits to honor a group of women who lead nonprofits across our state....more about this project.

“I was brought up that girls could do whatever boys do… I’m sure that type of
non-gender-biasing has enabled me
to do what I can… I’m just quietly able to follow
what I believe in”

Maya Lin , Architect
