David Bogus

Betty Feves is known for abstract monumental slab-built stoneware sculptures, as well as functional stoneware vessels and dinnerware.

Feves? inspiration for both the surface and form of her pieces often came from the natural surroundings of her home: the wheat fields and cliffs. Her use of locally sourced geologic materials resulted in unique signature clays and glazes.

At Washington State, she studied with the future Abstract-Expressionist artist Clyfford Still.
