Painter and mixed media artist Rogene Mañas was formerly a graphic designer, illustrator and partner in her own international card company PhotoTidings.com. She transitioned into being a fine artist more than 20 years ago and began inventing her own mixed media and paper clay techniques. Her sculptural reliefs and textural paintings may be seen at galleries around Oregon and on her website at rogenemanas.com. She loves helping people discover and develop their creative abilities using her innovative methods and teaches workshops in Oregon, Washington and California. She is planning special mixed media workshop tours to Mexico beginning in 2017. In 2011, she was featured on OPB’s Oregon Art Beat, a television program showcasing Oregon artists (http://www.opb.org/television/programs/artbeat/segment/painter-rogene-manas/).
