Art by Angela

A native Oregonian, Ceramicist, and Nature Lover, when not in the studio, I can be found hiking the trails of the Columbia River Gorge with my dog or biking the backroads of Oregon. For 11 years I was the sole owner of Encanto Press, a letterpress printing and design business. I later began an in-depth study of yoga and eventually co-led Trauma-Informed Brain-Sensitive Yoga Trainings. I also taught yoga and meditation classes at OHSU’s March Wellness. I have a background as a Stylist in the Commercial Photography Industry and as a steward in Land Conservation.

Much like the practice of yoga or sharing a good meal with friends, making pottery brings me a sense of calm and centeredness and is a channel for my creativity. Experiencing the present moment, kinesthetically with awareness, is my process. I love seeing people connect with a piece that becomes a part of their daily life or is gifted to someone they love. I’m on a mission to influence people to no longer use paper cups with plastic lids and to always have their favorite ceramic mug at the ready instead.
