Otto & Vivika Heino are giants in the ceramics world.
Jan Wax & Chris Bing combine beautiful glazes and natural sculptures.
Cathra-Anne Barker and Eleanor Murphey worked together in La Jolla, CA for many years. Their work fits well in craftsman-style homes.
Jeanne Moir has a boundless imagination and an over the top decorative sense.
Masuo Ojima’s work is architectural, but also very earthy, an unusual combination.
Ken describes the exhibit...
“These six artists created a personal bond with me. Their work and their personalities are uninhibited and giving. I loved talking with them as much as seeing their work. I met them either at their studios or at arts and crafts fairs in the Los Angeles area in the 1990’s. Whenever they would do a show within 100 miles, I would go.
"Monumental bowl" by Otto Heino
“Each is very different, but each is a mature artist with a clear, signature style. These pieces reveal the two (at least) sides of my personality. The playful colorful fun side and the learned muted serious side. I appreciate that ceramic artists can appeal to both.”
