About Me

Introduction

Hello! My name is Brittany Waters Dechter. I am a Californian ceramic artist living in Long Beach, CA. I am inspired by nature and often try to include elements of the natural world into my artwork. I enjoy sculpting sea creatures and crystals and flowers. I am still learning and growing as an artist.

What I Love about Ceramics

I love the ability to create objects in the real world, to pull an image from my mind and make it real. I love the feeling of clay on my hands and under my nails. I can get lost for hours in the detail and texture of a piece.

How I started with ceramics

I started ceramics in high school and fell in love with sculpture and clay.

What inspires me

The complexity and beauty of nature.

What I'm working on at the moment

Currently exploring form and texture and trying to find my style.

My Artist Statement

How comforting that every object I make out of clay will outlast and outlive me by hundreds of years. I will never be the last hand that touches my creations.
