Located in the heart of the cultural hub of Portland, Upfor is an art gallery which goes above and beyond simple visual exhibitions to include installations, performances and much, much more. The gallery displays contemporary art in all its forms with a bias towards the new-age digital media. Contextual presentations and performances are organized here side by side with regular installations of sculptures and paintings to create an interactive environment which is both intriguing and unique.
I sell my paintings, cards and prints, offer art classes for all ages and painting parties in my studio. Classes range from drawing, watercolor, acrylic painting, collage and printmaking, with emphasis on color theory, composition and the elements of design. I also teach some graphic design on the computer.

The shop is open by appointment between the hours posted here. Moksha is a professional artist with many years of experience in both the corporate world (where he worked in the computer game industry for over 17 years) as well as private studio work. His style is compared to the visionary painters like Alex Grey or the Polish surrealist painters like Beksinski. His work is on display and available in a wide price range in the form of originals and prints. He teaches students techniques in acrylic painting, oil painting, drawing and other traditional art mediums. His focus is on freeing the student from fear or anxiety about accessing their creative power. Moksha is also a frame drum maker and player. He sells his frame drums and rattles and teaches frame drum building from his studio in Portland to students one on one or in small groups. He also does custom painted drums by request.
