Since Renee O'Connor graduated from San Francisco State University with an art degree, she has focused her artistic energies on creating ceramic tile. At her home and studio on Willapa Bay at Ocean Park, she has a multitude of inspirations for her designs right at her doorstep. Birds, fish, shells and botanicals are some of her favorites. O'Connor can take your idea for a tile design and transform it into a splendid work of art. O'Connor's large obelisks adorned with sculpted herons, seabirds and fish can be seen in Long Beach at Fifth Street in front of Marsh's. The Fishermen's Memorial Wall she designed is at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco on Lake Street. See more of O'Connor's work on her website at www.willapabaytile.com.
