There are certain artists whose work is like a fingerprint, a signature; their art — in style, technique and content — is unmistakably theirs.

Equally masterful are the pastel paintings of Sarah Peroutka on view at Willard C. Dixon architecture firm, 300 Blair Blvd. Hop south to 543 Blair for Countdown Studios’ “Women in Hip Hop,” featuring Ashland’s Sassy D, Eugene’s Valentina (vrgnz), Lisa Vasquez and more.
