  • Karen Swyler grew up in Long Island, NY.

  • Her mother was an art teacher, who influenced her to work on the wheel.

  • Her father was a physicist, who influenced her analytically and scientifically.

  • Her introduction to clay was crafting small clay animals.

I chose to create artwork based on Karen Swyler's work beacuse I like how simplistic her pieces are. They are all in relation to each other and come together as one when they are all together. I feel like mine is very similar to her work in that when all three of my pieces are together, they are one and represent something all together. I also had all three of my pieces in relation to each other by having a starfish continually moving along the cup slowly into the center.
