NWDC Member Artist Talk | Liza E. Halvorsen: My Voyage Through Art & Life
Sunday, November 17. 3 to 4:15 PM
Presented on ZOOM
My artwork has been influenced by living in coastal environments: marine life as well as sea vessels have inspired the basic geometry of my hand built ceramic forms. Art making has been central in my life since childhood. I earned BFA in Ceramics at University of Washington. After work abroad, I earned an MFA at Mills College and began teaching college art in the San Francisco Bay Area, then Seattle colleges. I continue to work as a studio artist, with frequent walks along the shoreline. — Liza E. Halvorsen
NWDC’s Mission is to educate the public about Craft. It is also our intention for members to know each other – to have community. Our Zoom Artist Talks address both of these purposes. The Zoom talks grew out of a tradition from in-person meetings where members presented their life story and their work. It was a way to share with each other and to get to know each other in depth. A strong Crafts community is essential to promoting Craft in our wider culture.
When the talks moved to Zoom during the pandemic, we immediately saw a new advantage: far-away members could participate in real-time, the public could tune in, and we could make a permanent record of the talks on YouTube.
The support team for the Zoom talks include Executive Director Daniel Wallace, President Nancy Loorem Adams, Katherine Lewis, Lois Harbaugh, and Denise Snyder.
