About ‘Tis
Featuring two galleries of contemporary art inside the beautifully restored 1893 ‘Tis Building
Unlike conventional art galleries, the non-profit ‘Tis galleries feature affordable fine art paintings, photography, and sculpture, all displayed in museum-style fashion. A charming parlor area with a historical settee awaits visitors near the rear of the main floor gallery. Within it, you will find some of the state’s most unique and locally handcrafted jewelry and wearable art.
The Tis Foundation and Gallery were established to promote Local Artists, encourage Artists and various styles of art, teach art, and make art economically available to the Prescott Community.

Ceramics and Mixed Media
I create ceramic works that explore the cycles of nature and life, using layers of texture, impressions, and color on clay. Incorporating found natural and man-made objects, my process is deeply intuitive and shaped by my background in anthropology, a lifelong connection to the earth, and years of travel and exploration in nature.
Each piece reflects my belief in environmental responsibility through the use of upcycled, weathered materials. By working without strict plans, I allow the clay—a piece of the Earth itself—to guide the creation. My hope is that the resulting work evokes a sense of wonder and contemplation about our relationship with nature and the elements that shape us.
