It is such a wonder that humans, especially those who belonged to the past without the means and resources that we have, have come up with such objects of beauty. It is a credit to their ingenuity and persistence not to mention their taste and love of beauty that they have come up with things like paintings, ceramics, sculptures, and other objects of art. You just have to look at the examples of ceramic art from all over the world to develop a deep seated admiration for those who conceived and created such works of art. Today, we take our ceramics for granted as these pretty objects of utility are created en masse in factories and available to us when we want them. But that was not the case with the ceramic art that was produced in the past. An artist would have to work with very few tools and materials by himself or herself to create such works of art. You have to look at the earthy and worthy art of pottery to know that these objects are not only beautiful but are also useful around the home.
Although I studied painting and illustration in art school, my work in recent years has been focused on ceramic sculpture. I am intrigued by the figure and how it can express the complex world of human emotions. By tearing off the masks we choose to wear by our own nature, or those imposed on us by others or society, we begin to understand what it is to be human and how we are connected. This angel, above, tells the story of connection, to nature and the earth. The sun, moon, trees, fish and birds are carved in the clay before I bisque fire the piece. They symbolize her essence. I use a low fire clay body and a slab/coil method of construction. I am motivated by a desire to connect to a creative energy and to have a deeper experience within myself of being inspired (in spirit). Influenced by classical realism and surrealism, I like to re-interpret that era and apply it to the present, with a contemporary twist. I may embed found or recycled items into the piece to invoke a sense of wonder and mystery. With just a slight turn of the head or closed eye, the piece will convey a story. It may capture a feeling of whimsy or playfulness, or convey an inner world, one of wonder and mystery, or sadness and loss. Two people may look at the same piece and read different things into it. I like to keep it ambiguous in this way so as to open the imagination of the viewer, rather than telling the complete story. I was fortunate to travel abroad a lot growing up, as my father was a tour director, and I was amazed by the skill and beauty reflected in the works of art at the major museums. I think my imagination was inspired by these travels and how uniquely expressive the artwork reflected different cultures. My inspiration comes from everywhere really; music, literature, philosophy, science, quantum physics and nature, to name a few. I go in my studio each day to work, with music or an audio book playing in the background. Although, my starting point may be a sketch, I particularly like making a series of miniatures as they let me get into the flow. I like to step out of the way and become the observer. Interesting things can happen that way. The creative process takes over and I constantly surprise myself! My work can be seen in my Sarasota home studio by appointment, at one of the fine art events around the country where I exhibit, or at the galleries that carry my work.

Juz Kitson lures her audience into an opulent garden and casts them out renewed: an encounter with her sublime installations provokes deeply affected responses. Kitson commands her talismanic objects to test the boundaries between contemporary ceramics and contemporary shamanism. Bringing together Dehua and Jingdezhen porcelain, often embellished with fur, Kitson creates a form of memento mori meets animist fetish. Overtly seductive, the works’ tension lies in resisting the conventions of traditional ceramic craft - the wheel and plinth, both central to ceramic traditions. Bound with mystique and feminine power, Kitson’s suspended chimeras become both captivating and unnerving, touching gently on a raw, surrealist nerve.Sydney born Kitson divides her time between Australia (where the bush is a rich hunting ground) and Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, a country she first visited in 2009 to work with renowned installation artist Lin Tianmiao.
