Two by Two II

The other two of the four artists mentioned in my last post are Ana Quinn and Tim Havens. Both live in Aloha, Oregon and both are ceramic artists. They shared their work at Art On Broadway over the years as guest artists during monthly guest shows and holiday boutiques. Allow me to tell you a little bit about each of them.


Tim Havens - 
Tim's wife, Michelle, is a painter who specializes in portraits of cats and dogs.Together the two multimedia artists work out of their home studio. Their art is 100% handmade and every piece of art is one of a kind. They both participate each year in the Chehalem Mountain Art 
Affair..

Ana Quinn - 
Like many of the artists I have met over the years, Ana's interest in art - and particularly clay - began as a young girl. She shares that, "I used to sit on our porch and form figures out of modeling clay. Later when I studied anthropology in college, I was most interested in the Indian arts, which included making coil pottery and decorating it with bits of basketry and ropes pressed into the clay."

Some of Ana's wheel work includes bowls and platters painted with ancient Indian Art from the Mimbres culture, as well as cave art from the prehistoric caves of France. The majority of her work is made on the wheel and is both whimsical and functional. It is a marriage of her Anthropology studies and her love of clay.

In addition to showing at Art In The Village, Ana's working studio will be open this Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. as part of Washington County Open Studios. Visitors to her studio will be some of the first to see her new porcelain iguana which was inspired by a recent trip to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. Ana's studio is located at 20195 SW Imperial Street, Aloha. There will be signs to guide you.
