Megan Boldt-Kissel, “Meg’s Monsters”

Megan Boldt-Kissel took up sculpture in college and really didn’t care for it. However, as she aged, she began enjoying sculpting—especially sculpting “Meg’s Monsters.” Meg throws each of the monster’s bodies on the potter’s wheel and then sculpts it. Meg spends hours on one monster, creating its own unique personality. Most of Meg’s monsters have a function; cookie jars, serving bowls, soap pumps or toothbrush holders. Glazing is a tedious but enjoyable process, rewarded by firing up the kiln and opening it a few days later to see all of her monsters come to life! Each of Meg’s Monsters is a one of a kind piece of art.

Deb Moquin-Pinkert, “Just Around the Bend Photography”:

Deb Moquin-Pinkert, owner of “Just Around the Bend Photography,” had been a “wanna be photographer” for much of her life. Growing up on a farm in the hills of Virginia, Deb developed a love for the great outdoors and animals at a very early age. Her passion for photography became fully realized when she moved to Bend in 2012. Deb’s new home was located next to the Deschutes River and she found herself in a world filled with deer, ducks, geese and river otters. Suddenly, her camera became very active! Deb now exhibits and sells her photographs and cards throughout Central Oregon.
