All Artists Studio #7 Wood

Daniel McMurry – Wood

Living and moving a great deal around the Pacific Northwest of America for the majority of my youth, I developed a keen sense of both outer and inner relationship between myself and nature. I am drawn at once to both the natural world and to my own inner psyche.

I set about from an early age to try and capture the essences, layers and duality of living in both these worlds simultaneously. As I progressed through school and graduated from Linfield University with an Art and Creative writing double major, I was constantly seeking to capture these energies and layers and present them through various mediums, graphite, pen and ink, intaglio etchings, poetry, paintings in acrylic and oil and my deepest love, carving wood.

My art tends to be auto-biographical and mostly symbolic, with a mixture of natural references and metaphoric or even existential imagery. It encompasses my time passing and all that implies, birth, death, marriage, divorce, success, failure… the changing of the seasons.

I like to think that my art delivers meaning on various levels at once, and I enjoy creating images that have subtle, almost hidden symbology and story– so that the viewer will be drawn in and hopefully receive a personal connection by interpreting in their own way the images they find.

Robin McDonald – Ceramics

My name is Robin McDonald. Iʼm a full time potter working from my home studio in Portland, OR.
While in college earning my BFA & MFA I focused on the two dimensional arts; drawing, print making and photography. I relied on my sense of design and spatial relationships to create my images. I also loved elements from the Art Deco
and Art Nouveau periods.
Instead of going into teaching, I entered the trade of Graphics and Print Production. I followed that path from products produced by hand, through the beginnings of desktop publishing, to the amazing computer generated effects of todayʼs graphics.
During those thirty years the creative desire never left me. In 2005 I took my first pottery class and fell in love with the three dimensional and tactile experience of clay. I enjoy focusing on texture, shape, patterns and details. My inspiration is from a mixture of industry and nature.
Each piece is crafted by hand, giving them their individuality. My pieces are lovingly made, filled with creativity and care, and introduced to the public with the hope that they will love them as much as I have loved creating them.

Georgine Longfellow – Pottery

Clay has been a part of my life since my Dad found clay in our backyard in Eugene when I was 5 years old. In college, I majored in Art. My husband and I built a propane-fired kiln in our backyard during the child-rearing years. Now that the kids are grown, I have time in the studio! Nature, especially the beach, inspires my work.

I create wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics for functional use in the kitchen or for dining and also art for the garden. I have a clay studio at my home in Oregon City. I mix my own glazes and fire my work in electric kilns, using a white stoneware clay. I like to pour, dip or spray my glazes, sometimes adding brushwork.

Gretchen Lambert – Ceramics

I create wheel thrown and hand built functional and decorative pottery for indoor and outdoor use. I am largely self-taught after taking a series of lessons at a local studio. I like to see how things turn out.
