A Bowl for Mom

Janis Cutler Gear studied at Carnegie Mellon University with ceramic artist Edward Eberle, who encouraged her to integrate sculpted and wheel-thrown ceramic techniques with her painting and drawing skills. She followed his advice, and a few decades later, her work continues to evolve in a rich mix of imagery, color, and texture.

Underpainting, incising, and layers of glazing make this work unique - - not to mention Janis’s fantastical sensibilities. She is as likely to put a portrait in the middle of a piece as she is to capture Hindu deity Ganesh, the mythical phoenix, or plants and animals observed in nature.

With her smallest bowls starting at $38, and Mother’s Day just around the corner, you might want to visit her website. janiscutlergear.com
