In the latest HFO-TV episode, Aaron Kirk Douglas interviews market analyst Carl Whitaker from RealPage Inc. Whitaker shares insights into Portland's real estate market, noting a less pronounced seasonal rent swing and lower retention rates than other West Coast cities. Looking forward to 2023 and 2024, he predicts a slowing rent growth and potential challenges in the tech-driven economy, particularly in chip manufacturing. The episode also touches on the performance of smaller markets, such as Salem, Eugene, and Corvallis, highlighting their steady growth influenced by state-funded schools.

Holly Campbell is a life-long, self-taught artist born and raised in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Primarily using acrylic, ink, and watercolor, her work is often described as whimsical - with a focus on feminine energies, body positivity, and "dream-scapes". 

Since 2016, she has worn a multitude of different hats as an artist. She has spent many hours volunteering for local art organizations such as the Corvallis Arts Center, the Corvallis Arts Walk and Chintimini Wildlife Center. These connections eventually led Holly to join a co-op gallery named Voices (now called The Nest). Voices is where Holly really stepped into her identity as an artist and collaborator. Between designing/painting two downtown murals with the group and founding Voices' annual young artist exhibit, Holly met her friend/business partner, Sharon.  

Holly and Sharon joined forces in 2017 to open The Hold Studio and that partnership kept The Hold running for almost three years before Covid changed their trajectory. The Hold has since closed its physical location, but Holly and Sharon still run their gallery virtually. In the meantime, Holly has found solace in painting and collaborating from her home studio and you can often find her work on display at local restaurants, shops and, of course, on Instagram (@hollycampbellart).

Great chat this episode with Joey Bauer!

JOEY BAUER is a musician under the alias Theo B. Veeus (can be found on Bandcamp). His albums are great journeys. I highly, highly recommend you travel these roads.

Bauer also manages the great ***Darkside Cinema*** in Corvallis, Oregon. Listen in to hear about the intertwining of sound and image. This discussion really got me thinking about language and how we, as humans, speak and hear.

Bauer is married and has two youngsters. 

The importance of film and music in his life really comes through as we discuss the psychological aspects of creating art as well as whether something can come from nothing.

Thanks for supporting "Something (rather than nothing)"!!!
