Evy Jenkins

I have a love for gardening and nature which are inspiration for my art. I make pottery to complement my garden and vice versa. Glazes I mix myself are used to show off multiple layers of sprayed-on glazes I apply and how they break and blend onto the surfaces of my work. Birds are the perfect representation of how these glazes can be incorporated beautifully into the garden. I want my expression of nature to enrich the lives and gardens of others, and hopefully bring to them joy and an appreciation for the beauty around them.
