Rhonda Cearlock
Ceramic artist Rhonda Cearlock is inspired by the patchwork of fields, the change of seasons, the rising and setting of the sun, and the textures of landscapes. Working in clay for over thirty years, she uses these influences to guide her richly organic contemporary work. Her studio is nestled in the woods and overlooks a lake.
Cearlock's work is made up of many clay elements. The pieces are extruded, hand-built, slumped, and press molded. Chosen pieces are then textured using hand-built clay stamps and found objects with interesting patterns. The pieces are fired in a homemade kiln or pit-fired, then are assembled and painted with acrylic paint.
Rhonda Cearlock studied ceramics at Eastern Illinois University. She has a BA and an MA in ceramics and sculpture.
Customer Reviews
These pieces add a warm touch of color and interest to our family room and we love them! The artist went above and beyond to ensure that all three pieces in the set were made and delivered as depicted in the photo (which required one tile to be replaced -- at no charge or hassle to us). We are impressed by Ms Cearlock's artistry and professionalism! Thanks for adding beauty to our home.
Purchased as a Valentine Day gift to each other and are quite pleased with the results.
This piece perfectly fits our need for a wall sculpture on a stairway landing. Exactly as displayed, we will enjoy this piece for many years.
We recently renovated a bathroom and it needed non-traditional artwork. We hit the jackpot with the Zen Rectangles. So pleased with them.
For two years, I'd been looking for artwork to fill a space on the wall of my guest bathroom. I wanted something that had texture and colors that pop. When I saw the Zen Rectangles, I knew I had found the perfect piece. Each rectangle is beautifully made and mounted on wood for hanging horizontally or vertically. My mah jongg pals were just here and I got raves from everyone.
