Hey all, happy spring and rainy season here in the PNW. The daffodils are popping and so is my art biz! I have teamed up with several other ceramic artists to rent space in the huge vintage mall that is Memory Den in the Central Eastside business district of SE Portland to bring my first retail shop to fruition! You can find my work on the first floor at Artist Alley, just about 2/3 of the way in on the right as you enter MD.
We are having our informal GRAND OPENING Saturday from 5-7pm and hope to see you there! I have lots of new things to show you.

Next up on my roster of dates is the annual Oregon Potters Association (OPA) Ceramic Showcase at the Oregon Convention Center. This show is FREE and all are welcome. Happening April 25-27, I’ll be sharing a booth with Michaelyn Chess for her first show and we are so excited to see everyone and the many new things that are being created.
Then in May I’ll be traveling down to Southern Oregon to install my final community mosaic mural at Talent Maker City in my ol’ home town before heading over to Edenvale Winery for the Clayfolk Spring Show and Sale! A one day, outdoor, rain or shine extravaganza on May 15th of fine art, music, wine, and good times. I’ll be there with my wares from 10-5 and can’t wait to see all my old and new friends!
