Faces and the Garden: Pauline Doyle

Pauline Doyle was one of the first to take pottery classes and join drop-in sessions in the clay department of the newly opened Port Moody Arts Centre, now PoMoArts. Before long she became a popular teacher of the children’s clay classes and for three years she was the artist-in-residence. Her main interest now is to make whimsical animal sculptures in her Spring street, Port Moody studio.

During the pandemic Pauline has taken the animals and birds that inhabit her local garden as inspiration and considers the masks that they also wear.

I enjoyed seeing three very different shows of ceramic sculpture this month, and I recommend you take a moment during this final week of Summer to visit the galleries in Port Moody’s Art Centre. It’s also a good time to register for an inspiring Art class for the Fall!
