Coille ~
The history of Coille’s ceramic art career is quite impressive. Numerous exhibitions of her porcelain pottery and sculptural pieces include solo shows in San Francisco, California at the M. H. de Young Memorial Museum, the Quay Gallery, and the San Francisco International Airport, among others. Her work is also an integral part of many fine art collections, which include the LosAngeles County Museum of Art, The Oakland Museum of California, the Museum of Fine Arts in Salt Lake City, Utah, and The National Collection of Fine Arts of the Smithsonian Institution. Reproductions of her work have also appeared in a diverse list of periodicals and in several fine art books, including Garth Clark’s "The Eccentric Teapot".
Molly ~
Between frequenting her father’s painting/printmaking studio and her mother’s ceramic studio, it was inevitable that Molly would also become an artist. She began by experimenting with painting and bookmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her efforts in these disciplines earned her a national Ann Taylor Award for painting and the 10th Annual SFAI Book Award. Finally, following in her father’s footsteps, Molly excelled in printmaking. She received the Bronze Roller Award upon graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from SFAI in 1992. After working with master printers on works for artists such as Beth Van Heusen and Susan Rothenberg Molly decided to spend some time back in the ceramic studio. There she rediscovered her affinity for the clay arts and her gift for orchestrating delicate design. And she has been there ever since! |
