Hello! My name is Klay Arsenault, I'm an artist living and working in Portland Oregon.

Past a yard today that had the most stunning peonies!

Too good to pass up #cherryblossoms

My work is illustration, paper sculpture, automata, ceramics and anything else I can possibly get my hands on! My style is humorous, colorful, detailed and intuitive.

Notably, I was commissioned to design and create over 250 plush lampreys for an interactive portion of The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry’s (OMSI) Roots of Wisdom exhibit. The process spanned over two years for design, prototype and creation of the lampreys. The Roots of Wisdom exhibit is in partnership with the National Science
Foundation (NSF) and will be traveling the country until 2024.

When I am not making art, I spend my time with my family and in my garden.

Handmade paper flowers, fruit and vegetables

My work has been exhibited/sold at Tiny Llama, several shops around Portland and at Portland's well-attended Crafty Wonderland Craft Market.

Please contact me if you are interested in commissions or collaborations. I look forward to hearing from you.
