Post 9  1-page Artist Statement and short Bio

Artist Statement_Olga Doutkevitch

I make ceramic objects. They are usable Decorative objects. They mean to be a part of people’s lives: to use them in your everyday life, and touch them

 I was asked what does my painting have to do with ceramics? I was surprised by such question, it sounded like "what paper and watercolors have to do with painting?" -- to me ceramic is a canvas for drawings and paintings. the surface of a ceramic vessel makes an excellent base for a painting, plus it add an additional complexity of a 3 dimensional sculpture object integrating into it an illusion of 3-dimentionality of a perspective from a painting.

 My artwork become a source of/for the peace in a person's house
