FEATURED ARTIST - November 2025
Valorie Smith
After a career in finance and the visual arts of Photography and Photojournalism, I craved a more tactile pursuit, so I returned to my love of ceramics.
The feel of the clay as it flows through my fingers on the wheel, the artistic choices of shape and size, the aesthetic urges of selecting glaze combinations, the anticipation of the piece when it emerges from the kiln…one of a kind. These are the moments that draw me to my studio each day.
My work is a pursuit of hearth and home, and my pieces are to be touched, used, shared in everyday life. From my studio in Gig Harbor, Washington, to you and your home.
To see my work exhibited in the gallery, see my Artist Page.
Enjoy in good health.

Introducing Ebb Tide's Newest Artist
Hank Church
Ebb Tide continues to add new, amazing artists to its roster. Meet Hank Church.
After a decade exploring the vivid deserts of Arizona and the coastlines, rolling hills, and mountain ranges of California, Hank returned home—drawn back by the pull of familiar faces and the landscapes that first sparked his interest in photography.
His images seek to inspire viewers of to pause and begin to see what often goes unnoticed: the quiet interplay of lines, shapes, and colors that can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Guided by an enduring fascination with architecture and abstraction, Hank approaches each image as a discovery rather than a plan. By revealing hidden harmonies and unexpected perspectives, he aims to shift how people perceive their surroundings and to remind them that art isn’t confined to galleries - it’s everywhere - if we just stop to look.
For more about Hank and to see his work, take a look at his Artist Page and visit www.refindimages.com
