Gwen Waight

My studio is in Peninsula, Ohio in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I have resided and worked in Ohio for 20 years. I received my degree from the University of Iowa in sculpture and worked in my dad's ceramic studio for ten years. It was in my father's studio that I learned my appreciation of three-dimensional space. It was also my dad's non-sentimental nature of tossing/burning all things deemed unnecessary clutter that rooted my deep need to covet and collect almost everything. I studied ceramics in college and love, really, all things clay. With found objects and assemblage I truly discovered my artistic voice.
