ABOUT THE ARTIST

HI! I’m Cat Jackson. Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to visit.

I make one of a kind functional and sculptural clay art. I hand build and wheel throw clay in my home studio. My favorite part of the process is the designing, glazing & decorating.

Years before I discovered clay, painting with acrylics and lino-cut printing were my mediums. I combine all these aesthetics to make my current ceramic work. I like bold images, saturated colors, and clean lines. When illustrating a piece, I usually stick with a limited color palette and am very interested in the negative space created.

I am inspired by nature esp. birds, symbols, powerful and sassy women, feminine rage, skulls, my wayward youth, block printing, tattoo imagery, color, pattern, pottery from other eras (the 30s, 40s, mid-century modern, 60s) and many other things.

I have and will donate work for causes I feel especially passionate about; access to abortion and medical care for women, wild animal rehab and environmental protection, supporting the arts and social justice for all including the LGBTQ+ community.

My educational background includes a bachelor’s in design and a master’s in social work.

Life is short. Buy the funky pottery.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to visit!
