About Ora

Hi, it's Ora!  I'm a multi media artist living in San Diego, CA with my husband and two boys.

I guess you could say art is in my blood. I have a powerhouse of females in my family who are all very talented artists. My Mother is a painter, sculptor, jeweler, master gardener, incredible cook, etc. She had a very successful career in radio sales but has never stopped creating. My Aunt, Ora (my namesake) has a ceramic business in Laguna Beach called Plum Foolish. I spent many Summers in her studio observing her craft and admiring the life she had built for herself. My Great Aunt was an animator for Disney films in the 1930s. Then there is my Grandmother, my biggest inspiration and continues to be at the age of 101. She is still painting to this day and taught me that “bored” was a bad word at an early age. She has gifted me with many of her jewelry and woodworking tools that I cherish. I can’t leave out that my mother and father have shared a love of art since meeting at UCSB while studying art history.  I have an incredible family who have all made art a big part of their life.  They encourage and inspire me constantly.

My creativity is seen in so many different mediums; from jewelry, painting, building furniture and so much more.  I am constantly inspired to create and often find my mind racing with ideas 

Many of my projects are custom pieces for clients where we work together to achieve something we both love.  

If you are local to San Diego you might have seen some of my larger public art pieces at places like Flower Hill Promenade, Seaport Village, Rancho Valencia, La Jolla Shores, and Oceanside Marketplace.
