Elaine Carhartt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elaine Carhartt (born 1951) is an American ceramist.

Carhartt is a native of Grand Junction, Colorado,[1] who has spent much of her career in Pasadena, California.[2] She graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1975, and moved to California the next year. She has won numerous honors and awards, including, in 1980, that for new talent offered by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1] Stylistically, Carhartt's work is influenced by the traditional ceramics of Turkey and Portugal.[3] Besides freestanding sculptures[4] she produces tile murals[5] and prints.[6]
