Artist Bio:

Wes Reed from Wessaramics is a full-time queer ceramic artist based in Vancouver, BC, whose work celebrates the playful nature and quirky personalities of cats. Through carving and sculpting, Wes brings each cat to life with its own unique expression and character. No two cats are quite alike, and each piece captures a little of the charm, mischief, and individuality that make cats so lovable. You can find Wes’s work at the Kingsmill Studio Shop on Granville Island.
