Joan Sharpe, a long-time resident of Chicago’s lakefront has been a prolific ceramicist for 25 years. Inspired by nature, fueled by curiosity and motivated by color, Sharpe has created a captivating landscape of clay pieces which seem to summon one after the other. There's a remarkable fluidity within the organic shapes and forms which are coupled with a painterly treatment evoking expanses of nature in motion. The color palate of blues, greens and earthen tones continues a reflection of natural landscapes, conjuring up deep waters as well as woodland flora. This collection truly reflects a sincere, artistic exploration with compelling and masterful results. Joan’s pieces will bring the lakefront to your home.
