"Functional Aesthetic" Reception Photos

The reception for my Functional Aesthetic juried group show at the Le Mars Arts Center was really nice! I met some of the other exhibiting artists, and a group of my friends attended as well - then afterwards, we went out to dinner!

Here is an exhibition advertisement and a few photos of my five pieces in the show. In both the ad and the show design, my ceramics earned center stage! I was pretty pleased about that, since this is my first professional juried exhibition of ceramics; I only began working in the discipline in 2020 so it’s fulfilling to have my work in this field be received well so quickly. I haven’t even finished editing my portfolio images of all of my newest raku ceramics, so these pictures give you a sneak peek at some of my most recent ones.

Functional Aesthetic is still up for another couple of weeks, so please check it out if you’re in the area!

Upcoming: "Functional Aesthetic" at the Le Mars Arts Center

This is a milestone - I have my first ever juried ceramics exhibition which will be at the Le Mars Arts Center later this month. I only began working with the discipline of ceramics in 2020, and so this is an exciting development. I will have five handbuilt pieces from my raku firings in July and October 2021 on display in this Functional Aesthetic group show.

Functional Aesthetic will be open from November 9 - December 18th, 2021. The opening reception will be Friday, November 12th from 5-7pm.
