MARYON ATTWOOD - ceramic artist

Atwood planned and trained to be a painter but now finds herself to be primarily a sculptor, making all kinds of forms with a variety of materials and integrating color and texture as each sculpture takes shape.

Most recently she has been making historical and myth-inspired busts that are fired multiple times to achieve the layering of color used in traditional painting techniques. As a granddaughter of Glasgow, inspired by human history, the legends from the highlands, and rich Celtic culture she is unearthing messages from the past and re-interpreting them to a contemporary audience.
