Paula Smith-Danell
Love. What better way to embrace February and St. Valentine's Day? Three types of love are characterized by Paula Smith-Danell's three wearable art pieces named: Désirée (desire), Amiée (friend) and Chérie (to cherish).
Paula draws on her background of a bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from a London University during the mid 1980's and 2 decades of designing bridalwear to bring a collection of provocative evening attire that will surprise and inspire with its emblematic steam-punk elements. A playful nature is expose by the "tab A, slot B" nature of the leather and silk corsets and flirty skirts. Lose yourself in "Amore" as the life-sized cupids let lose their arrows of love.

Meet Sequoia's Board Members
We'd like to introduce you to the hardworking volunteer board members that guide Sequoia Gallery + Studios and keep it going strong. This month we present a profile our second community representative, Lynn Adamo.
Lynn Adamo
Lynn has lived in Hillsboro for 21 years. She is married to Bob Faber, a Hillsboro native. She has a bachelor's degree in graphic design and worked as a self-employed graphic designer for 24 years. She's been involved in many community activities throughout her time here. While running her design business, she was involved in the HIllsboro Chamber of Commerce, was a founding board member of Hillsboro Tuesday Marketplace, and was Hillsboro Rotarian for seven years. In 1996, she discovered the ancient art of mosaics and also ceramic tilemaking. She began the transition from her graphic design career to her current passion of being a visual artist, using mosaic as her medium of choice. She was part of the original group of artists who got Sequoia off the ground, serving on the marketing committee and guiding the development of Sequoia's visual identity. She was an active artist member for the first two years, but stepped back in order to lead the community mosaic mural project, carried out in 2010 with grant funds. She is optimistic about the downtown renaissance that is moving forward in Hillsboro, and thinks the arts are a vital part of creating a vibrant, busy downtown.
