I try to capture the drama and movement of the windswept trees of my coastal surroundings. I especially love the cypress trees, the way they tenaciously hang onto the edges of cliffs, bent by the wind.   .   .  Bonnie Belt

 Walking Bowl by Sally Jaffee Sally Jaffee  pottery  -   Middletown, CA
spacer
I am often asked why I have chosen the Japanese aesthetic from which to express myself. I feel their use of space and line most closely reflects what I aspire to achieve. They teach art as a way of life, and that resonates with who I am.     .   .  Sally Jaffee

Blending techniques of metales casados (married metals) from Mexico and mokume gane (wood grain metal) from Japan enable me to create a hybrid fusion of multicolor and multi-karat gold compositions, each with its own unique rhythm and flow.   . . . Elizabeth Ross

Gayna Uransky - clay artist
Gayna Uransky   Natural Fiber Baskets   -   Garberville, CA

Most of my materials are collected and gathered rather than purchased. The effect of this is very organic. My focus is to use materials with as little processing as possible - inspired by their natural beauty and shapes.
