Jo Grishman

I have seen myself as an artist since childhood, always drawing and creating imaginary worlds, growing up in New York City. My passions for family and nature have been nurtured and blossomed since this move, where I finally feel at home. I consider myself a collaborator with nature. I am an artist exploring narrative sculpture combining found objects, text and mixed media.. Working with clay is a tactile, spiritual interaction. It's a dance as the image emerges and takes on a life form of it's own. The story gradually reveals itself and not always upon completion of the piece. It is a gradual unfolding...."What a caterpillar sees as the end of the world the butterfly sees as just the beginning".
