Ceramic Art & Sculpture
Kerry Kirkpatrick
is a ceramic artist and sculptor. Her clay sculptures of figures, torsos, and busts portray mystery, humor and elements of ancient cultures.
While she may start with a general compositional intention, her figurative art pieces evolve into a mythological archetype, impression or story.
Kerry grew up in Arizona where monumental rock formations carved by wind, water and tectonic forces formed natural sculptures made from the same elements that create clay particles. She felt naturally drawn to clay in her high school art program, and there began her passion with clay as an artistic medium.
Many life experiences, educational programs, clay studios and travels have influenced her work. The elements of each composition form an impression as if a story is locked in time.
