Karen Jean Smith - Ceramics
Welcome to my website!
Here is a bit about me:
Much of my sculptural work began with natural forms and/or textures that I find when I am out in my kayak or hiking in the woods. It’s not unusual for me to become preoccupied with a piece of dead wood or the form of a plant. I use this information to develop my work.
Recently, I have been creating fanciful sculptural work based on the poem "The Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.
My most recent education in ceramics comes from Clayscapes Pottery, Inc. in Syracuse, NY. As a former elementary art teacher, I have also found my experiences in education to be valuable in developing the way I think about my work.
I live in Marcellus, NY with my husband Guy, my partner in adventure.
I hope that you will enjoy looking through my website.
