## Scott Pleydell-Pearce

We are so excited to welcome back local watercolour artist Scott Pleydell-Pearce
to the Pop Up art space in September.

Scott has been an artist all of his life, mainly working professionally in the world
of animation. Scott’s self-taught watercolour style is best described as Bold, Energetic
and Dynamic. He has the ability to draw and paint very accurately but also turn 
his hand to a looser approach as well. Embracing and enjoying the outdoors, Scott
paints En Plein Air (in the open) as much as possible as nature is truly the greatest
teacher.

## Marsha Hoggan

Marsha has been creating beautiful pottery since 2005 and now works from her own
studio. Her functional pieces are primarily made from porcelain, with one of her
more recent passions being black porcelain — a stunning material that beautifully
complements her underglaze designs. Another of Marsha’s creative pursuits is Raku
pottery; in 2024, she even built her own Raku kiln. The Orca theme appears throughout
much of Marsha’s work, a fitting tribute to the spirit and beauty of the West Coast.

## Jennifer James

Jennifer is a multi-textural artist whose creative journey began as soon as she 
could hold a crayon. She has been crafting pottery since the age of 13, exploring
a variety of hand-building techniques and sculptural forms. Deeply inspired by the
spiritual essence of nature, Jennifer infuses her work with this connection, creating
pieces that are both expressive and meaningful. Her collection features nature-inspired
Raku pottery and sculptures — including mythical Sprites, sculpted flowers with 
crystal centers, owls, and butterflies. She also creates a stunning range of stoneware
mugs and brooches, each piece reflecting her love of texture, form, and the natural
world.
