Marsha Hoggan & Jennifer James

We’re always thrilled to welcome local pottery and mixed media artists Marsha Hoggan and Jennifer James to our Pop-Up space to showcase their incredible creations.

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.

Richmond Artists Guild “Guess Who” with featured artist Marv Skelton

Margot D’Souza

We are thrilled to welcome back local Steveston artist Margot D’Souza to the Pop-Up Art Space for the month of October.

Margot has been surrounded by music, art, and the beauty of nature throughout her life, all of which have deeply influenced her lifestyle and artistic passions. She has taken numerous courses and workshops over the years, with a brief pause to raise her family.

Upon retirement, her passion for drawing, painting, and photography returned in full force. An avid photographer and birder, Margot draws much of her inspiration from photos she’s taken and sketches she’s made during her travels around the world, as well as from walks through her local surroundings along the trails of Steveston. Nature offers her endless inspiration—whether painting on location or in the studio. In recent years, her focus has shifted to bird photography, and translating those images onto canvas has become a truly rewarding experience.

Margot primarily works in oil and is a member of the Richmond Artists Guild, the Richmond Arts Coalition, and Men in Hats.

Marilyn Piccinin

Marilyn Piccinin, a local Richmond resident and lifelong painter, began her artistic journey with “tole painting” – a decorative form of painting in oil or acrylic. Marilyn now prefers watercolour and paints and paints weekly with a group of local artists.

While living in the UK during the 1980s, Marilyn took her first watercolour classes—and it has remained her favourite medium ever since. Today, she continues to enjoy weekly painting sessions alongside other talented local artists.

Marilyn’s work reflects her deep appreciation for the natural world and the quiet pleasures found outdoors.

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.
