Approaching the decoration of the vessel from different disciplines in ceramics, these two have nevertheless both landed in a joy of ornamentation and love of nature. While Jackie covers the surface of her vessels in a riot of bright colors, florals, and intricate patterns, Catherine finds comfort in the earthiness of warm, neutral tones, recalling the peace and solitude of forest and field in her sculpted and painted animalia. The differences and similarities within their art echo the relationship of family, rooted yet branching.
