Artist Statement
My name is Emberly Smith, and I am a ceramic artist! I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona and have been surrounded by art my whole life. My grandma was a huge influence on me as I created my art style. Growing up she loved Art Nouveau style, so it was passed on to me! I love the sense of geometric order and repetition, but I also love the feeling of fluidity and organic lines. I try to translate that passion through the designs on my pieces. I started in ceramics in high school, and now I am currently earning my Bachelors of Art, Emphasis Three-Dimensional with a cluster in Graphic Design from Brigham Young University – Idaho. Through my formal training, I have learned many techniques and skills that have made me a better artist. My work is functional and made specifically for you. I really love the thought of having work being personal and sentimental. I really love expressing how art can be more than just a piece of work, it can be a piece of beauty, intelligence, wonder, connection, and functionality. My work can be used in the everyday life, over and over.
