Island Textures

 

As a clay artist, I am inspired and frequently surprised by clay’s versatility. I enjoy making use of texture, contrast, color and multiple elements to make forms from teapots to birdhouses that are esthetically pleasing and somewhat humorous.  I frequently incorporate some reference to human form or movement.  At other times, I simply enjoy the technical challenges of constructing a difficult form. Sometimes my art stops just short of kitsch, sometimes not, and it frequently leaves the observer wondering if the object is really made of clay.

Raku Fish

Nina came to Oregon from Sweden and she loves to create funny personalities and characters in the pottery fish. They are hand thrown on a pottery wheel and Raku fired. Because of the opportunity for variation in Raku pottery, each personally signed ceramic fish ornament is unique.

You can find Nina’s fish in select galleries across the US.

My functional and decorative stoneware and porcelain forms are influenced by southwestern Native American and Japanese folk pottery traditions.  I am captivated by the unique surfaces and earthy colors arising from the wood-fire and salt-glaze processes.  To produce the wood-fire pieces I combine strong forms and quiet surfaces enriched by the atmosphere in the anagama kiln. I strive to create pieces with a subtle serene beauty.  My salt glazed pottery use the salt added during the firing to melt, mix and blend the layers of slip, oxides and wood ash to create bold, flowing surfaces.

My infatuation with art began in high school. After completing my college degree, I became a high school pottery instructor in 1977. Much of what I taught was learned on the fly as I expanded my curriculum. Along the way I participated in many seminars, graduate classes and even spent a year in England studying with ceramicists there. To this day, I’m still learning about the myriad possibilities of the ceramic process. My work has been designed for practical use. All pieces are high fired to a hard cone 10. The shapes I employ are simple and decorated with a range of graphic designs. My unwavering goal is to produce a durable piece of functional art with a flair. Now retired, I create new work in my Jacksonville studio.

My journey towards clay has been a long and wandering one. I’ve gone from stay-at-home motherhood, to corporate marketing jobs, to working alongside my honey on the construction sites. But now I am here, making what’s exciting to me. Taking a muddy raw substance and creating art that can be interacted with. If it gets me excited, then I want to make it. And I have years to discover the endless possibilities of clay.

I hope you enjoy what I’ve made and I will always continue to explore the muddy world of ceramics.

My work can be found on my website and at Art and Soul Gallery in Ashland Oregon.
