Janet Burner

ARTIST STATEMENT 2026 "Clay as Art" is my goal and inspiration and "Craft versus Art" is a boundary I relish to extinguish. Both my home and chosen craft reflect my love of the earth and the creative energy it provides. As life flows, birth to death, so I create, clay flowing between my fingers, nary a finger print remains. Push and pull, time flies, hours pass, my work has its own life and death or is buried in time for others to find. The human figure, my life's experiences, and images from nature fascinate my imagination; smooth surfaces, texture, contrasts, gesture, drawing and painting are often incorporated. I bring my many years of experience to every lump of clay; to shape from nothing, a piece which lives beyond myself with dignity and pride. My intention as a potter is a spiritual one; to be one with the earth. My love for clay will always endure!
