Steveston Museum and Post Office

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. 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.

Throughout 2024, the artist will invite local residents to participate as collaborators to tell their definitions of home and co-create a home-like installation through various activities, aiming to build a public sense of an inclusive, shared, and caring community. This exhibition will showcase the works of individuals who have participated in this project as well as Peisen’s work. Together, it hopes to convey various meanings of home and celebrate the diverse presence of Richmond community members.
