Selected Works

Bithia Bjurman “Moments of quiet beauty and fleeting connection inspire my work. Whether it’s the satisfaction of a shared meal, the charm of an unposed interaction, or the poetry of an overlooked corner of a bustling city, I aim to capture the essence of everyday experiences.”

Deborah Schneider “Many potters are designers. I am one of them. For those of us who began our profession before it became a digital process, clay offers another experience that feeds our creativity—the pleasurable act of making something with our hands.”

KD Kahoot “I intend my pieces to fully engage the senses, nudging the viewer to experience the softness of naturally- printed and dyed textiles, or to contemplate Nature’s sumptuous light and colour. Patina and texture are ever-present in my work. Imperfections celebrated.”

Sarah Fine “I create vibrant ceramic pieces and mixed media paintings that celebrate the whimsical beauty of nature. My ceramic work includes bas relief wall hangings and sculptural pieces, all bursting with color and imagination.”

Karen Shawcross “The natural world is my refuge and inspiration. Painting is a spiritual practice for me. Learning to truly see the wonders of the world around me and put them to paper is a blessing in my life.”

Donna Stevens “My paintings are souvenirs of places where I’ve paused to enjoy the sights, sounds and feel of nature’s special places. In my heart, there is a very special place for trees, especially those with unique character.”
