Alisen Herman [1990, Graphic Design]
I have always been amazed about how the human hand creates a work of art. Since studying the masters at RISD and admiring art throughout my life, I have explored many mediums and have been intrigued about the process of ideation through creation. This curiosity led me from foundation disciplines, life drawing and graphic design to the four dimensional possibilities of clay. Making a departure from a 25+ year graphics and marketing career, I’ve been a potter for three years where I have truly found my passion. Focusing on two artistic outcomes, functional and Judaic pottery, I envision and create objects that feed others, feed myself and feed my soul. My goal is to share handmade craft in objects that bring meaning to one’s everyday and spiritual life.
