Lynda C Reed

I have loved clay since first touch; I feel connected to all of the elements (earth, air, fire, water) plus the mineral world. I love the transformation by fire with Raku, pit fire and salt techniques. My passion for figure sculpture emerged out of ceramics work over 30 years ago and I continue to find tremendous beauty & emotion in figurative work. Recently I am experimenting with Crystalized side firing on seashells & surface coloring, as well as more expressive and narrative work.

I moved to Pacific Grove to be by the sea when I retired, so I could dedicate more time to my passion of figure sculpture. For over 25 years, I have worked from the life model with sculptors in Marin. I am so grateful for their support, creative community, inspiration & friendship. I have learned from Tebby George, Martine Vaugel, Michelle Gregor, Debra Fritts and others. I am grateful for the Samuel Fleisher Art Memorial in South Philly for my first dive into figurative work.
