Spring 2022 Gallery
Artist Statement
For my art show I was inspired by the Vietri Santorini patterns. Vietri is a company composed of three women who create collections inspired from their travels to Santorini. I have always loved the way that these pieces looked and decided to try and recreate them in my own style. I used a royal blue underglaze to paint the design. Then I used a clear glaze over to finish the look. On the rest of my pieces I used a carving tool to carve out the design and then used the same blue underglaze and clear glaze over. I love the idea of having added texture through the method of carving and I like the way that it gives the piece dimension. I am happy with the way my pieces turned out for my final senior art show and hope to one day travel to Santorini myself.
