Colleen McCall

Artist Statement

Decorated inside and out, from top to bottom, my vibrant hand painted pottery feeds my obsession for color, pattern and texture. Inspiration varies from natural realistic blooms to stylized abstract florals. I draw upon and participate in the global tradition of colorful folk art painting which celebrates culture, place and time. Vintage textiles, feed sack florals, bold wall coverings and pressed glassware are all part of the mix to create fresh functional heirloom quality dinnerware, home and garden decor.
