My abstract landscape photography at Clackamas Women's Services, OR

I am delighted and honored that Clackamas Women's Services in Oregon City, OR chose my abstract landscape photography to fill their new Safe Place Family Justice Center.  Clackamas Women's Services (CWS) based in Oregon City, OR  "...offers free services to survivors of  domestic and sexual violence providing support to individuals and families as they work towards a self-sufficient, violent-free life". 

A Safe Place Family Justice Center, completed at the end of 2013, is where victims of abuse can run to in a time of crisis and deal with their next steps all under one roof:-

 "from spiritual support, housing services, legal counseling, financial support services.” Also, "survivors of domestic violence will be able to talk with a counselor, file a police report, find a battered-women’s shelter, join a support group and get a restraining order from a judge — all in one building called A Safe Place" . 

 A lot of survivors and their families did not know where to run to as there are so many steps to deal with in order to get out of the unsafe situation so they often go back to the abuser as it seems the easiest option.  Now, the new Safe Place is a safe environment for victims to run to and where everything can be dealt with together:  a “one-stop shopping so we can provide wraparound services to victims, so families don’t have to go place-to-place,”

I am thrilled that CWS selected 22 images from my portfolio to fill their new Safe House and I hope individuals will find solace looking at my images during their time there.
