CAROLINE BACKBURN
Caroline Blackburn is an award winning native Los Angeles sculptural ceramic artist, who creates vessels that explore her interest in abstract painting, architecture, and nature. Caroline studied Art History and Studio Arts graduating magna cum laude from Boston College. At Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California she studied with some of the fore- most artists of our times while earning a MFA focusing on fine arts. In 2019, Caroline received the Donor’s Choice Award at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Ink & Clay 44 exhibition.
Trained as a painter, her sculptural ceramic work focuses on bringing a freshness and immediacy to each piece through color, form, and surface texture. Every work is one of a kind whether it is thrown on a wheel, hand built, or a combination of both techniques. While investigating an interest in form, the work produces a continual shift between surface, texture, color and object. Each vessel provides a contemporary sense of life that is very personal and universal at the same time.
