Artist Statement
The Artist has traveled in England and Italy, photographed beautiful landscapes, buildings and people and works from her photographs and live models to create her paintings and sculpture.
A native of Washington State, Pamela Searcy grew up in Central Washington where her family owned orchards on the Yakima Indian Reservation. Drawing and painting were her favorite adventures as a child and she continued her interest in art studying Design, Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Art history at Seattle University and the University of Washington.
After completing under graduate and graduate degrees from Seattle University, Pamela taught elementary school and then art at Inglemoor High School. With the demands of three small children the Artist was busy at home for several years, keeping up with her artistic interests as time allowed. Now that the children have completed their university degrees, the Artist is enjoying a new freedom to arrange her interests around a life long love of artistic expression.
Following retirement, Pamela returned to Yakima, Washington where she currently resides.
“Art adds to all our lives, gives a way of expressing feelings, enriches our understanding of the world and shares joy.” Pamela Searcy

(734) 730-8759
Artist Statement
I was raised in the fruit farming region in North Wapato. At a very early age, I developed a love for art, which eventually led to my attending CWU in the late 80’s on the G.I. Bill for the study of Fine Arts. During my time at Central, under instructors Chris Papadopoulos and Richard Fairbanks, the ceramic sculptures I created received awards in the Larson Gallery’s Central Washington Artists‘ Shows.
My love of nature together with my love of sculpture led me to working with area river rock, combining their natural sculpted shapes to create my sculptures. This period culminated in my marriage and a move to Michigan. I would be making sculptures there and later in Texas and Florida for the next 30 years before retirement and my return to the Valley and its river rock. Now I spend winters in Florida and the rest of the time in Yakima.

Corey Robinson Ceramic Artist

https://yakimavalleyartists.com/artists-1
Artist Statement
I find clay to be an amazing, versatile creative medium for self-expression. With no formal training in clay work, I have been able to just follow where my imagination takes me. Adding objects from nature, feathers, wood, shells, and even other unexpected objects such as beads, metal and wire keeps my clay creations visually interesting and unusual. Hopefully, my clay work delights the imagination of the viewer as well.

Yakima, WA 98902
(509) 654-6487
Artist Statement
I am a ceramic artist. I create brightly colored and highly textured ceramic sculpture, installations, and functional pottery. In 2006, I moved to Yakima from Wisconsin to teach at Yakima Valley College where I run the clay studio and teach ceramics, design, and art history courses. Until about five years ago, my sculpture was almost entirely abstract, influenced by plants and sea life. I continue to make this work, which features bright colors and contrasting textures. More recently, I have begun to incorporate more political/social themes into my work through my politics bulbs installations and my scream mugs that capture the feelings of 2020.
I enjoy writing about my art and my teaching on my blog, Rachel Dorn Ceramic Sculpture, at www.racheldorn.blogspot.com. You can read about my building processes, inspiration, teaching, and installations. You can also see work from students in my ceramic and design classes at YVC. Visit my website at www.racheldorn.com, email me at rdorn@me.com or call (509) 654-6487.
My home studio remodel was completed in February 2020, so if you’ve been to my studio before, come check out the beautiful new workspace. I am delighted to talk with you about my work, my process, or my new studio. Families are welcome (the yard is shady and we’ll leave some space for young people who aren’t ready to be near fragile ceramics).
If you are interested in taking pottery, clay hand-building, or other art classes, or have questions about our programs, please contact me via my YVC email: rdorn@yvcc.edu.

My work is a conglomeration of observed and imagined forms. The repetition and intricacy in my work suggests the burdened yet harmonious aspects of lived experience.

Kayo Nakamura Drawing/Painting
Email: kayonak@gmail.com
Instagram: kayonakamura1
Artist Statement
Drawing plays an important role in my work. Everything I make begins with first marking it down somehow, fleshing it out. I can’t generate ideas without seeing them, so I always need to make them visible in order to get to the next step. Hence, drawing is a verb instead of a noun, and all my drawings are better categorized as sketches and are preliminary, not final art objects.
But I’m less interested in the idea of a final art object that just lays there like a dead fish. When the idea breaks and it is in the process of becoming and transforming with its end nowhere in sight, the work can take different directions. Navigating uncertainty along with trusting what I have learned from my years of experience is crucial for my practice so that I don’t end up in the same place every time.

I love my scissors. As a self-taught artist, I employ them to create whimsical, vintage inspired collage pieces. Picking up and playing with paper consumes most of my waking hours. Any leftover time is usually devoted to walking my three loyal dogs through the family orchards in Yakima and Tieton, Washington.

Michelle Wyles Ceramic Sculplture
Artists Statement
Art has always been part of my life. I was immersed in childhood with my artist mother, collecting folk art with my husband, gardening, painting, and now ceramic sculpture. I feel so lucky and blessed to be on this journey in life having no perfect roadmap or set destination. It is self-indulgence and self-entertainment at its finest! I think I’m hilarious! My sculptures are not preplanned, they are from some dark recess of my mind or some passing thought from yesterday. They are the result of a thousand experiments, kissing a lot of frogs and many hours spent daydreaming, as well as being productive. I work in clay fired to cone 5 or 6 so that the pieces can spend their winters outdoors — preferably covered in snow and offering a different prospective on the season. I spend a lot of time outdoors, gardening and hiking, and love how nature pushes and pulls my ideas.

(425) 239-9794
Artist Statement
I grew up in a working-class neighborhood where there were no artists around as far as I could remember. When the time came, I attended college and traveled. My point of view evolved. Slowly I gave myself permission to make art. I learned black and white photography, fell in love with ceramics, then stitching, knitting, spinning, book-making and mixed media collage.
My aesthetic is earthy grunge with lots of texture, usually evocative and almost always a little odd.

Artist Statement
As a cabinetmaker for forty years, I have been fortunate to work in exhibit ships that constantly do creative projects. This is all in the past. I now find myself using a broad range of salvaged materials, found objects, as well as photos and drawings to tell a story of my worldview, or just feature an object for its beauty or simplicity.

Kathy Birdwell Painting
Email: Kathy.Birdwell.Art@Outlook.com
Artist Statement
My first attempt at painting came at 3 years old when my mother put a small canvas board in front of me along with two tubes of her well-worn Grumbacher oils, and directed me to ‘paint an apple’, which I did. No other medium in art has brought me the same satisfaction that oil paints do. I studied Art at Yakima Valley College and Graphic Design at Central Washington University but after college I found few jobs in Yakima in the field. Over the years I worked in various business environments and finally found my niche in funeral service which I loved and served for many years.
After leaving college, I did not pick up paints and a brush for more than 40 years. Since retiring in 2020, painting has become the prime focus of much of my time and energy. It is the activity that calms my brain, entertains my thoughts, and offers social contact - meeting and talking with such a variety of people along the way.
I am especially drawn to sunlight—particularly depicting its effect on almost any scene or subject. The central Washington steppe, dry hills, and contrasting waterways are my favorite subjects.

She enjoys painting plants, pets, glass and is just starting into landscape, particularly painting her two favorite areas of the U.S., the Plains States, where she is from, and Eastern Washington.
“I know I have a long way to go,” she says, “And, watercolor is known as a difficult medium. But I love the effect of color and water blending and running about on the paper. It can be transparent looking or heavy and opaque.”

Artist Statement
I was born and raised in Burien, Washington. I had always been interested in photography but really caught the photo bug in 2011 shortly after losing my husband. I needed a distraction and bought my first DSLR camera. I was hooked immediately!
I remarried in 2016. A work opportunity for him brought us to Yakima in 2019, allowing me to retire from my 18-year City of Tukwila job. I'm in love with the very distinct four seasons here and always say that my favorite season is the transition between them. I'm an avid hiker and the landscape makes for some challenging hikes and beautiful photos!

I always enjoyed drawing but did not have time to paint until I retired in December of 2018. Then the pandemic hit. I took an online watercolor class and loved it. I was very fortunate to find a local artist willing to teach in his home. His medium was oil, so I switched and found I loved it even more! I am learning every day and hope you enjoy my work.

Artist Statement
Hi, I am an artist in Yakima, Washington.
I have been involved doing art projects, drawing, and painting most of my life, taking art classes whenever I had a chance. Being active in art classes at the University of Washington in Seattle was a great joy, being trained in uses of different mediums, as well as art history education. Later using art in creative ways to teach young children occupied many years of my life.
Most of my inspiration for art comes from my garden, the beautiful and interesting nature around us, and from travel to many interesting places in the U.S., Canade and Europe.
My family and I moved to Yakima, in eastern Washington in 1982. Now in retirement I have more time for painting and being part of the local art scene. I use mostly acrylic medium, some watercolor, and photography.
I enjoy my studio workshop, and my small art gallery, so conveniently located in part of our retirement home. Appointments can be made to view and buy my artwork. From time to time, I plan to host an Open House of artwork, and to be part of the local Tour of Artist’s Studios along with other artists each September.
I sign my artwork R Hilde because my given first name is Reinhilde. I was born in Bremen, Germany.

Artist Statement
I am a Yakima Valley artist creating expressionism, landscape, fluid art, figurative subjects, and mixed media in abstract style. I primarily paint acrylic on canvas with multi-layered fields of color, texture, and patterns as I see them throughout our cycles of life.
I am influenced and inspired by my life experiences, memories, museums, travels, and photography. My art is continuously evolving.
My goal is to create art that speaks to other’s hearts, minds, and souls. I am compelled that I have something to say, expressing it with different mediums and leaving it open to interpretation by others.
