Bud Vase

Ashley Brazil is a ceramic artist based in Minneapolis. Having spent her formative years
growing up in a valley near the mountains, forests, and the ocean of the Pacific
Northwest, she feels deeply rooted in finding art in the natural world around her. With a
background in painting, design, and art history, her practice is a culmination of these
interests. Through clay sculpture, she explores the depth of feeling that certain colors
bring from their interaction with one another and the tactility of texture. She is most
inspired by ancient forms as a canvas in which to explore ideas of daily ritual, beauty,
mindfulness, and transformation.
