Meet the Business Owner

Hue and Marla P.

Business Owner

Most artists find them­selves on a never end­ing and always learn­ing jour­ney. Hue seeks to fol­low the basic idea that work­ing with clay is actu­ally a cre­ative con­ver­sa­tion with the entire process. The major­ity of Hue’s work is aes­thet­i­c altered forms and func­tional wares. Marla has com­pleted well over 400 por­traits for fam­i­lies across the U.S. She remains pas­sion­ate about and com­mit­ted to the con­cept that each paint­ing is a visual inter­pre­ta­tion of peo­ple and/​or their pets. For both of us the act of cre­at­ing involves tremen­dous thought and hard work, yet is ulti­mately an immensely reward­ing experience.

Both Parnells earned BFA degrees from Missouri State University. They are juried members of The Best of Missouri Hands and members of Springfield Regional Arts Council and Studio 55 of Springfield.

We sell our pottery and artwork throughout the U.S. through Parnell Studios, and we also own Faith Vessels Pottery For Worship and KilnDoc kiln repair.
