Fall into our Pop Up Artist Space and discover our October Artists!

October Pop-Up Artists Banner showcases the art of Scott Samuels and Marsha Lynn Hoggan. Scott has two paintings of ships featured and Marsha has an assortment of whale related pottery on display.
Marsha Lynn Hoggan

We are thrilled to welcome back local potter Marsha Lynn Hoggan to the Pop Up Art space. Marsha has been making pottery since 2005. Her functional work is mainly porcelain, loving the translucency and the way it glows after glaze firing. Working with clay has also allowed her to experiment with raku as well as sculpting. Marsha’s whimsical garden and floral designs as well as her orcas designs are so worth coming in to have a look. @marshalynnpottery

Scott Samuels

Scott Samuels has been on an artistic journey ever since he was a young boy from creating lego structures to discovering his talent for drawing and as well as his creative abilities. Scott gave up art in his teens and then rediscovered his talent while recovering from a major injury. From portraits to landscapes, Scott continues to explore the many facets of this art. @artlife_skatelife
