A self-described optic mechanic, Bill Hoppe has lived and painted in Bend for 14 years. He's got some huge, beautiful works on view this month at Laura Russo Gallery, as part of Non Finito, curated by Lucinda Parker. We sat down with Hoppe to talk about his use of color, his fixtation on the lens, and how he transitioned from theological studies to fine art in his late teens.
