PORTLAND, Ore. - s4story -- When poet Stacy Boe Miller saw the painting "To be good" by Wynter Jones, she knew it belonged on the cover of her forthcoming book titled "Ready to Answer with Hunger." The Imperfecta Gallery is excited to present Poetry and Paint: A conversation with a poet and an artist, with Stacy Boe Miller and Wynter Jones.

Join Stacy and Wynter on June 27 at 2pm for a conversation inspired by Stacy's debut poetry collection as they discuss art across mediums, the way painting and poetry can express shared emotional landscapes, and the unique strengths and limitations of visual and written art forms. Together, they will explore themes of motherhood, grief, loss of faith, and the experience of being women in the American West, reflecting on how creative artifacts can illuminate both personal and collective experience.

About the Book:
Ready to Answer with Hunger is an honest look at motherhood, gender, grief, loss of faith, and living inside an aging body. Set in both a real western landscape and a surreal one that travels as close as the ribs of our mothers and as far as the surface of the moon, it reads at times as memoir and other times as dream.

About Wynter Jones
Originally from Utah yet based in Oregon, Wynter Jones alternates between abstraction and realism, often merging the two, and explores a variety of 2D media, such as oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, ink and pen. Wynter is interested in merging intangible marks with representational subjects, muting edges and re-defining them. She sees her art as an act of extending minutes, recapturing the passage of time with tiny marks, simple subjects, and connective patterns.
