Cathy Broski Ceramics


Cathy Broski is inspired by nature and simple gesture drawings. Her work includes archetypical and personal Symbolism. Cathy chooses these forms to work with because they have several levels of meaning that she finds intriguing to explore. Made from stoneware, each tile begins with a slab of clay. Cathy’s tiles are not made from molds each tile is individually hand built and no two are ever exactly alike. This matte finish blue ceramic frame has a hand mounted within the frame and is a symbolic representation of peace and serenity. Each tile comes with the artist’s story card. Buy this Cathy Broski 3 dimentional "hand' tile for $34.00 at www.arthousegifts.com.
