The Grimm family has a lot of talent. Father Ray is a longtime glass and ceramic artist, his wife, Jere is an acclaimed ceramicist and daughter Christa paints in vibrant hues. Tune in to OREGON ART BEAT on the stations of Oregon Public Broadcasting Television on Thursday, June 19 at 8pm and Sunday June 22 at 2am and 6pm to meet this talented family and see what kind of works they're busy creating.

Martin Eichinger gave up a successful career as a commercial artist to follow his heart on a new journey. He talks with ART BEAT about how his flowing sculptures tell stories about the mysteries of the heart.
