Walking through the crowded “streets” of Portland’s Farmers Market, it’s easy to spot Market Gourmet on any given Saturday among the other great local vendor booths. Also known as “The Tart Lady” you’ll be able to spot Monica Halici’s booth by the long line of patient customers, the scent of freshly baked french inspired delicacies and also by her signature pink market tent

Mark Nilsson is a bit of an iconic fixture here in Hood River, OR. Walk down almost any street and you’ll see a Nilsson mural for a local restaurant, a Nilsson contribution for a local school or an elaborate Nilsson glass mosaic.
