About artemis

Artemis Divine, 2023

Artemis lives and works in their hometown of Portland, OR. Their home studio practice encompasses work with painting, soft-sculpture, fiber, healing plants, hyphae, and a study of illustrated divinatory traditions. Themes within their work manifest the divine, wounded, surreal, and everyday contradictions of a lived human experience.

Public art projects include Park It!, a temporary group installation in Madison Wisconsin, and Bridge for Blankets, an installation for Portland's Broadway Bridge Centennial. Creative contributions as a member of the international, collaborative collective, Expanded Draught have concluded. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Archer Gallery | Clark College, Paragon Gallery, Chehalem Cultural Center, and Wolff Gallery. They are currently developing a series of hand painted and embroidered pieces for an original tarot deck, the Radicle Pleasures Tarot.

Artemis’ practice of herbalism draws mainly from traditional western plant medicine practices and principles, with an emphasis on the ways that plants can help individuals engage with both the energetic and applied properties of medicinal plants. Growing their own medicinal plants and blending herbal teas are the ways they prefer to practice plant medicine in daily life. They believe we can learn a lot about our bodies and plants, as well as internal and external ecosystems, from establishing an intentional and consistent relationship with the land as teacher.

Artemis is currently a part of the 2023 Under The Eagle’s Wing Mentorship cohort with Shayne Case.

To listen to the wisdom of land and spirit is a careful, quiet, and enduring journey.
