New Paintings by Thomas Cory

Thomas Cory get’s his inspiration from taking long walks, just sitting in his backyard and going out to be in nature, here he finds many of his subjects and the environment gives him a variety to sketch, from these sketches come the paintings that we have at Studio Seven Arts. Thom uses acrylic to create landscapes that we recognize and some that are places that we dream about. Thom has been focusing on close ups of birds, like they we’re sitting for a portrait, close up where their faces have a sweet or quizzical expression, each one is an original and if you love birds you will love these. Thom has also been creating works with birds where they are hanging out in their natural habitat, trees, looking out into the world and seeing it from a birds eye view. These pieces are easy to collect and would look amazing in your home.

New Paper Mache' Birds by Nancy Overton

 began making paper mache birds some time after joining Cornell University’s Back Yard Bird Count (allaboutbirds.org). Sitting in my backyard watching and counting birds inspired me to create a little wire Sparrow and I’ve been making birds ever since.

These bird sculptures are made of wire, paper and glue. The handmade wire frame defines the size and kind of bird. The papers become the decorative feathers, the colors and the personality. Most birds have some found paper accents: hand-written recipes, Italian dictionary pages, postage stamps or sheet music. Some birds are mounted on driftwood.

Making birds keeps me in touch with the earth and sky, rejoicing in nature and her creatures. Having birds in my house makes me smile.

New Pottery By Piper Christine

Piper has been making ceramic work as Thermotrope Pottery since 2012.   This term, describing a (typically botanical) responsiveness to temperature, applies not only to the ceramic process but to her background as an artist: originating in Vermont, Piper moved to the sunnier Bay Area to earn a BFA from California College of the Arts.

Here is how Piper describes what she does: Thermotrope Pottery is about precision and refuse.  The base idea is that unfired, unpolluted clay can be reprocessed indefinitely.  I begin my work with material recycled from the scraps of many clay bodies; I will also salvage discarded ‘new’ clays.  From this reclaimed medium, my wheel-thrown forms have clean geometrical curves.

I approach glazing with the conservationist consideration.  What makes Thermotrope Pottery are the found glazes, refined and manipulated to produce concentrated colours and extreme textures.  There is a fastidiousness, as well as a nonsense.

Josh Latkin, New Ceramic Artist

Josh Latkin has been a Mendocino Coast resident since 1978, living in Albion for more than 30 years. Between 1973 and 1980 he began working with clay, learning and experimenting with various techniques.
Beginning in 2011, when Josh had an opportunity to return to ceramics, he started to develop new methods and techniques to accomplish the construction of the large ceramic vessels he builds.
At this time all of the pottery is high fired stoneware, with all phases of the work being done at his studio . Come see these new pieces in person they have a presence about them and they want to be touched.
