I am for the most part a self-taught artist, this gives me a certain leeway in the way I create. With no pre-conceived rules to follow I'm free to decide, within the parameters of the material, the form that my pottery will take. I find a lot of my influences in the patterns of nature, the art of the American Southwest, and the carvings of the Northwest Tribes. Above all... it is the power in the smoke and fire that truly creates my work.

The Wedge
Barbara Perez sculpts portraits and memorials in clay for individuals and groups. These are either fired or can be cast in bronze. She also creates organic, sensual sculptures and functional objects in clay, then fires them with lush, flowing glazes. This same luxuriance of color and nature-related form is found in her pastel paintings.
