About
Moon Petal Arts is a home based studio nestled in the lush beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Tucked at the end of a quiet road and surrounded by flowering trees, redwoods, and a blossoming Moon Garden, our studio is a sanctuary for artistic exploration. Inspired by natures quiet moments and blooming wonder, we create works in ceramics, stained glass, paper, paints, and textiles- each piece rooted in a thoughtful commitment to creative expression.
With years of formal training and a lifelong passion for the arts, the artist behind Moon Petal Arts finds joy in exploring multiple mediums. Clay, in particular, offers endless possibility- a reflection of life's own unpredictability and magic.
Beyond the studio, this love of creativity extends to the classroom through volunteer work in a local elementary school, where children's imaginations come to life, often in collaborative, large scale projects.

Stained Glass Mobiles

Will always start.
A sunny glow
In the Gloomiest heart." - Johnny Gruelle, Raggedy Ann
