The Blue Wing Gallery is pleased to host "Taking Shape" a solo exhibition featuring exciting new works by ceramic artist Linda Gelfman.

This exhibit is a mix of sophisticated and humorous sculptures each one rich in personality. Linda's mastery of medium is demonstrated in the attention to detail; the interesting variations in textures and the depth of color achieved in her glazes. These latest pieces mark her as an artist worthy of serious collectors, however her down to earth attitude and affordable prices make her an artist with overall appeal.

When asked about her inspiration or her approach to creating her artwork, she easily responds "I create what feels good to my hands, my heart, my eyes and my soul. Only to study it and revel in it when it is finished. Sitting in my studio I wonder from where in me did this emerge? Birds, belly dancers, bottles, cats, towering vessels of hopes, emotions, ideas, prayers and blessings my work is the world in which I feel most at home".

Born in Chicago Linda wanted to be a hippy...lucky for us she became a "Mud Head" (this is a term for clay artists). Linda studied sculpture at the University of Illinois, Champagne-Urbana. In the late 80's she was introduced to the Northern California clay community, which prompted her to attend graduate school at California State University, Sacramento. For a few years Linda was an instructor at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Currently she teaches ceramics full time at American River College.
