" I work with clay as a way to make sense of the world, drawing on personal experiences and taking inspiration from emotions, dreams and nature. The forms of my sculptures often play with abstracting the human and mythological figure, while surface details tell stories that are both personal and universal. I love to create work that catches the eye from far away, and becomes more interesting the closer one gets to a piece. My intention is to raise questions and to invoke an emotional response that is unique for everyone. " |
Rose Gitlin is a ceramic sculptor based on the Mendocino Coast. She received her BFA from the University of Montana where she also completed a post-baccalaureate in ceramic sculpture.

"I am an artist and fisherperson. Years of working on boats and walking the streams have contributed to the art I choose to make. I see the ocean in many patterns and textures. I look for stones with these visual elements to create pieces that reflect the beauty of coastal life.
Many people feel a connection to the salmon. I offer a way for them to carry the salmon with them by curing the salmon skin, then setting it in silver with transparent gemstones or glass. My immense respect for the salmon inspires me to honor them in this way. I love to imagine my patrons wearing their salmon jewelry while walking in the redwood forest or sitting by the ocean." |
