Mary Ellen Davidson

 





From paper with etchings and watercolor, to canvas using oil and acrylics, I've spent the last 45 years investigating various mediums. It's been a wonderful ride, especially the first 26 years with the etching process. Using some of that work, which includes numerous linoleum cuts, I have begun to use the press once more, this time rolling clay in order to hand-build each piece. Using the clay as my canvas, I've found an alternative way to create unique effects through the trial and error process of firing. I also use the wheel, sometimes to begin an abstract piece, as well as a traditional bowl. The excitement with this new medium brings joy to each new avenue I approach, with an endless array of creative potential.


Please join Mary Ellen during the First Friday Reception,  
October 1st, 5-8 PM.
