KAREN SKIPPER CRUCE

Artist Statement

“Over the past 20 years of working in ceramics, I have grown to realize the importance of each piece being well-crafted.  That, as a functional potter, became my main focus.  Along the way, I discovered that the inspiration for my finished work came from the earth – it’s processes,  textures  and color. The earth provides endless inspiration and a fabulous color palette found in canyon walls, swiftly moving waters, landscapes, the earth’s horizon at sunrise and dusk, geyser pools – the list never ends and is never boring.  In fact, it is short of miraculous. ”
