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!
