By combining tradition and experimentation, Beverly Saito creates her own unique brand of decorative art.
Much of her sculpture has reference to functional forms. "One of my favorite shapes is the teapot. With handles and spouts, they present a challenging and intriguing design problem." Like a poet writing haiku, the ceramist making a teapot must create something unique within a defined form. Bright colors, contrasting textures and intricate detail, are all part of the distinctive quality of her art.
Originally from the San Francisco area, she now resides in Port Townsend, Washington and has been working in clay for over twenty-five years. She has received many awards and grants and has given lectures and workshops to both students and professionals.
Her work is represented in museums, universities, corporate and private collections and can be obtained from galleries across the U.S.
