My name is Evelyn Fitzgerald. I became and artist in high school in 1972. I finished my BFA with a #D emphasis from Weber State College, Utah in 2011. Since graduating I have been developing my style and medium in clay and tile. We moved from Utah and settled in Valley Spring in 2018. I have been showing my art at local venues, Lodi Street fair, Arnold and Frog Jump in Angels Camp.

| O-007 Freedom Eagle by Evelyn Fitzgerald ceramic 24x20 $700 |
My art is how I see and engage with places, seasons and nature, not just visually but with texture and color. I develop my designs on paper, I transfer the design to a slab of wet clay mapping out the individual pieces. I then carve to relief or build up the design to the texture that fits my project. I use mason stain for the color applying it in layers until the picture comes alive. My process includes anywhere from three to five kiln firings depending on the complexity of the piece. I finish with a gloss glaze for a deeper richer color. After the last firing, I mount and grout the pieces like a jigsaw puzzle to a tile board, and then it gets framed.

| O-008 America's Beauty by Evelyn Fitzgerald ceramic 19x25 $1500 |
I pick the subjects for my designs from personal experiences, by subject such as school houses or seasons of the year, patriotic or nature at its best. I have been working on this technique for quite some time and I am now happy with my finished works, but I still strive to improve the controls that are required for this art form.
