“On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., Joseph Gallivan interviews painter Jenene Nagy about her new painting show at PDX Contemporary Art in northwest Portland.
 
Nagy talks about her blue and white gouache paintings, which include sparkly mica and thousands of pencil marks which she makes for up to 10 hours a day as part of her meditative practice. She also talks about the concept of sharing breath with diverse neighbors, framing and the idea of small actions being able to change the world.”

If you miss it this morning, the program will be made available online tomorrow.
