Jennifer Rainwater – Painting

Jennifer is a Guest Artist at Studio #5

After an unexpected move to Colorado during the pandemic, Jennifer Rainwater discovered a deep and transformative passion for art. Immersed in her roommate’s studio, she began painting with a clear mission: to bring more color into everyday life. What started as exploration quickly became a dedicated creative practice.

Jennifer now creates vibrant acrylic pour and mixed media works inspired by movement, energy, and color. In addition to original paintings, she produces one-of-a-kind functional art pieces—including coasters, trivets, vases, and select geometric works—designed to make art a lived, tactile experience. Each piece is unique, celebrating both visual impact and thoughtful craftsmanship. My work is created using acrylic paint and mixed media, with an emphasis on fluid pour techniques that highlight movement, flow, and bold color relationships. Through layering and controlled experimentation, each piece evolves naturally. I also apply these techniques to functional art pieces, merging expressive design with practical use.

Kathy Kollenburn – Glass

Kathy is a guest artist at Studio #1

I started experimenting with fused glass in December of 2006. I have taken several in-person and online courses. I have also read many books and tutorials and experimented to make them my own. Glass has such a draw through the color and light it brings to its environment and is wonderful for both decorative & functional uses. I want to share the peace and joy I get from my creations with my customers and with those who take the time to look. I hope you enjoy my work.

Yelena Shabrova – Drawing

Yelena is a Guest Artist at Studio #7

My drawings express personal feelings in response to subjects that fascinate me: horses, the world of nature, and everyday items. I leave it to the viewer to interpret my creations as they see them and am always interested to hear their stories.

I work primarily in colored pencil, pen and ink, and mixed media. Other possibilities also fascinate me.

All Artists Ceramics & Pottery Studio #2

Erin Redding – Ceramics

Erin is a Guest Artist at Studio #2

Erin Patricia Redding was born in Manhattan New York and lived on Long Island and at the age of twenty-seven moved to the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Her love of gardening led her to become an organic farmer and move west to Oregon. While working on a Transfer Degree at Clackamas Community College she found her love of ceramics while
studying with artists Katy McFadden and Nora Brodnicki. Through her formal education in clay, Redding found a deep spiritual connection to clay that led her to making hand built intuitive pieces and forms thrown on the wheel. She now owns “Herbal Earth Pottery” and has loved playing in the mud for decades

Erin creates unique hand-built and thrown ceramic forms inspired by her life experiences and connection to nature. Using clay to hand-build forms allows her to combine formal and exploratory techniques using plants and natural textures to create organic functional and decorative works imprinted with fine detail. Throwing pots on the wheel is more of a
spiritual process for Erin. “Centering the clay allows me to center myself. My “Boss Lady” wheel allows me the opportunity to reflect on daily challenges and changes in life that have come my way. The process of throwing has a way of softening the hard parts of my life. My left hand stays firm in my choices and my right hand symbolizes the outer pressures of life’s influence. Through this process I feel a connection to the universe that mingles control and collapse.”
