Alexis Spakoski

Though her background lies in graphic design and freelance illustration, Alexis found hand-building in clay to be her artistic passion.  Dreaming Dogs Studio is a small space that she cherishes—located in her backyard with a nice garden view.

The imagery in Alexis’ art comes from what she loves—scenes of dogs, cats or various animals abound, whether performing on little stages, leaping in moon-lit gardens, or simply sitting on comfy chairs expectantly waiting to play. Alexis’ children and pets provide inspiration for her art, as do the magic and whimsy of her own memories and imagination. Most of all, she creates objects that bring a little more joy to our lives.

Alexis’ ceramic artwork is sold locally at The Arts Center’s Art Shop in Corvallis. She has also exhibited at the OSU Memorial Union gallery, Corvallis Montessori School, and at Fall Festival as part of the Willamette Ceramics Guild booth.
