Anne Mastrangelo

(Continued Here)

The Boston based ceramicist, Anne Mastrangelo, has been working in low-fire clay for twenty years. Her pieces are both sculptural and functional, made of both white clay and terracotta. The lively and rich colors and patterns in her work evoke the work of Matisse and African art. They are vibrant and are abstract, as well as representational with imagery ranging from her dog (or yours!) to her garden. Some large pieces seem to be moving in their own space. They are twisted, curved, or cut out. Light plays on the inside and out.

All functional ware is non-toxic and food safe, but not to be used as cookware. Most vases can hold flowers and dried flowers.
