Jocelyn Howard

Renee Brown is known for ceramic sculpture using floor, wall, pedestal and installation formats. Her work is motivated by the mineral world. Subject matter begins with the clay and glaze minerals from which Brown creates original exaggerated compositions and structures derived from crystalline formations found in nature.

Brown creates her mixed-media sculptures using assembled preformed and natural components. Typical fabricated and natural elements include elongated crystal forms, geodes, rocks, and lichen formations. Surface and composition of each sculpture can include multiple applications of glaze, paint, glitter, and other finishing agents.
