Item Description
This listing is for a custom platter, design, and hand painted by Advent art teacher and accomplished artist Saskia Van Vactor. The winner will pick the colors and work with Saskia to design a one-of-a-kind piece that will become a cherished family heirloom.
Saskia is an accomplished ceramic artist with a broad base of experience in illustration, decorative painting, and design. Inspired by multiple eras of the European and Asian figurative tradition, her work combines elements and esthetic themes from the natural world with a reexamination of form and utility.
After general training in art at the Paris American Academy in France where she was influenced by the rich history of European art, Saskia studied ceramics at Kansas State University with Professor Yoshiro Ikeda. Graduating at the top of her class and having participated in many exhibitions she then went on to work as a freelance artist in Los Angeles, CA, where she completed several tile installations, decorative murals and exhibited her ceramic work.
Leaving California in 1996 she moved to Florence, Italy where she continued her art training in diverse disciplines, such as fresco painting, mask making, and traditional majolica painted pottery. Saskia continued to work and exhibit her ceramic work there for the next six years.
After years of producing ceramic and decorative art in Italy, Mexico, Kansas, and California, Saskia returned to establish a studio in Massachusetts, the place of her birth. She is currently developing a new body of ceramic work that explores the endless possibilities of carved and textured surfaces.
