///WINNIE OWENS-HART : CERAMIST
Location: Gainesville, VA
Winnie Owens-Hart is a ceramist from Gainesville, Virginia. A teacher, author and sculptor, Owens-Hart uses clay to touch on women's issues -- both personal and global. Additionally, her work examines the correlation between external forces and a person's psyche. The artist focuses on this link between personal experience and creativity in her work, adding, "Our individual life experiences determine how we are shaped and, in turn, how we & shape the clay." Born in Washington, DC, Owens-Hart received her BA from the Philadelphia College of Art, and her MFA from Howard University. Active in the arts since the late 1960s, Owens-Hart has received numerous awards, including a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Lifetime Achievement in the Craft Arts Award.
