North Pole Studio’s founding artist Davis Wohlford puts a lot of himself into his various art projects, both those done at the Studio, and the Studio itself. The Studio’s atmosphere is quiet and comforting, with plenty of large windows, looking out over the busy NW Portland streets, to let in natural light. It’s designed with autistic people in mind.

am honored to share this beautiful story that I have titled “A Masterpiece in the Making”. Yes, it is a story about art, but the true masterpiece in the making is the artist, Kobey Bonin.

“We recognize that our students are all unique and learn, grow, and flourish in different ways – there is no ‘one way’ to success!” This is a mantra of an Oregon Alternative High School called the Innovations Academy in The Dalles. We are noticing more alternative options for students and the philosophy of a different approach to education is being adopted. Students and their families are seeing success at schools that take a different approach to education, especially at the

When I started my newsletter, Hello, Adversity, in 2023, I had modest expectations.

When Kevin Glenn went to his local Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) office in 2011, his life was in shambles, both personally and professionally. He struggled to hold down jobs and have healthy relationships. For a few years, he didn’t have stable housing and was sleeping on friends’ couches or in a van. “I was at rock bottom. I didn’t know what to do.” Said Kevin, who lives in the small eastern Oregon town of Enterprise. He had no idea he was living with mental health condi
