Peter and Dorothy Bonneau (Redmond, WA, USA)
http://www.thebonneaus.com/
(Fascinating, often tongue-in-cheek but always sensitively modelled
animals. The Bonneaus have branched out from realist/expressionist
painting and graphic design to humourous, sometimes anthropomorphic but
never cloying clay sculpture of horse figures, crow-like birds and other
creatures, either as free-standing pieces or found in architectural
ceramics. "What's most important to us is the pursuit of joy, humor and
beauty. We hope to convey that sense of happiness and appreciation of
life in our art work.")

Ben has recently been selected as one of Ceramics Monthly's emerging
artist for 2006. He has accepted a winter residency at the Anderson
ranch arts center and will be leaving the Odyssey Center in September.
He has also curated a show at the Clay Studio of Missoula that features
past and present residents and instructors at the Odyssey Center.
"As a potter I am constantly questioning how I can infuse clay with
spirit and vitality, while continuing to honor function and the rigors
of daily use. I choose robust, but casually thrown forms that allude to
the vigor inherent in southern Appalachian domestic objects, such as
quilts, aprons, and furniture. These objects represent a vitality that
comes from a time-honored tradition of use and family ritual."
