About the Author

Dwayne Sackey

Dwayne Nii-Teiko Sackey, a ceramicist in Portland, Oregon, draws inspiration from a backpacking camp job where he teaches youth to enjoy the wilderness. He translates nature’s expressive and fluid qualities into art – functional pots and abstract sculptures. Sackey earned his BFA from Oregon College of Art and Craft in 2019. Merit-based scholarships supported him: the Gregori Jakovina & Larry McDonald Scholarship, the Ellice T. Johnston Scholarship, and the OCAC Community College Scholarship. In 2019 Sackey showed at the Multnomah County Justice Center.
