Reverence for craft and workmanship urges me to create pieces that endure time and grow richer as they show signs of age. I bring new life to a tree, transforming the lumber it provides into an object you will interact with everyday. You are encouraged to experience these objects with all your senses; don’t just admire them from a distance, touch them and allow the oils from your hands become a part of the piece as it becomes a part of your home.

Camille Patha
Today I saw Camille Patha speak at the Tacoma Art Museum. If you ever have a chance to see her I encourage you to go, she was absolutely effervescent. She has an incredible energy and went around the room hugging everyone and kissing people on the cheek, it was infectious. Hearing her speak of her career spanning several decades, her experience in grad school, her ideas of being a feminist and a woman, and seeing her be successful across multiple genres and mediums was a great inspiration as I begin my career as an artist. Thanks to Camille for taking the time today to speak to us, and to the staff at TAM for providing the venue.
