In the spring of 2024 I began a series of artist collaborations, as a means to build community, and raise funds for, and awareness of the community clay studio and residency project I’m building in Portugal. This is an ongoing project, to help bring artists to stay, learn, and/or teach in Portugal, as all proceeds raised from these collaborations will be used to acquire studio equipment.

The images below represent the 11 works of art created in 2024, through collaborations with 7 different artists from all over the US, plus Mexico and Portugal.

Collab artists listed in order of photos: 1-3 Mariana Sampaio, 4 Adrienne Oates, 5 Alexis Mixter. 6-7 Diana Adams, 8 Ryan Rhakshan, 9 Tony Young, 10 Cori Jacobs, 11 Ryan Rhakshan.

Be sure to visit the community studio fundraiser page to see the 2025 collaborations and/or make a donation. Even $5 helps.
