Nurtured Nature brings together 7 american clay artists ( Judi Tavill (NJ), Bryan Hopkins (NY), Ani Kasten, Lois Aronow (NY), Heather Knight (NC), Akira Satake (NC), Joann Axford (NY)) who reference the natural world in their own unique ways.

Whether referencing or resembling sea creatures, plants and rocks or natural and man made findings stressed through the passage of time, these works have a unique beauty that is familiar, yet, new.

Elusive sensations such as rushing wind, rippling waters, and undulating fields are achieved through various forming and surface techniques.

All of these artists work with shadow and light uniquely to develop textures implying a sense of movement running the gamut of the very rigorous to the most quietly calm.
