Sharon,a Utah native, completed her MFA degree in

Ceramics and Textiles from Utah State University.  Sharon

works with high fired porcelain.  Porcelain is a hard durable

ware designed to be used and last a lifetime, yet refined and

beautiful.  Sharon’s work is designed to be used as well as

being aesthetically pleasing. She feels the function of the

work enhances its value.  She enjoys the connection and

intimacy of knowing her work is being used daily and

appreciated by others.

“The potter as an artist faces the unique challenge of

drawing or painting on a three dimensional surface.  As

images of horses encircle the surface of my pots, I see them

in continual motion.  I am interested in creating movement,

rhythms, and textures on my pottery that reflect my natural

surroundings. This fascination with natural images and

movements compels me to keep exploring the possibilities.”
