Yolande Brown-Conran
Artist StatementI grew up in Jamaica where creativity and nature is a lifestyle. Moving to Canada I still have this connection a love for nature and I express that connection and love through Clay. I did my first pottery class here in Canada and feel head over heals for the media. I channelled my love for plants into clay by creating decorative pots and vases the plants can call home. I decorate with bright underglazes and detailed painting and make the shapes of my vases and pots with interesting unique twists for the viewer to feel excited and enjoy looking at the beauty of the pot as well as the wonderful plant inside. My inspiration also comes from living in a small studio apartment and working in a small studio space I create happy tiny decorative homes for our plants to be displayed.
