“Throughout my youth, I was always striving for the perfect art form. When I tried to do it as a grown-up, it didn’t come so easily. Mid-struggle, I looked over at my coffeepot and milk carton and thought, wow. When you get older, you realize everything is right there.”
Karen Shapiro
"Art imitates life. Particularly for those who recognize it in the common elements of their everyday surroundings. The sculptural curve of a coffeepot, the etching on a bar of soap, the texture of an orange. The creative eye can see it; the creative hand will render it.
Karen Shapiro derives her art from what’s already there. It doesn’t have to be studied, interpreted or understood. Her ceramic sculpture is what it is, whether it be a crayon, a lipstick or a carton of milk." - Lisa Watson
