About  

Sarah Mitchell-Davison's work is both textural and fluid. Her coiled and slab built sculptural stoneware vessels are often organic in shape revealing impressions left by her hands.

Sarah is an emerging ceramic artist working out of her West Kill, NY based studio Arc Ceramics. In the hamlet where the studio is nestled she is surrounded by the Catskill mountains. Their flowing runoff feeds into the bluestone streams and valleys that provide a continuous source of inspiration. Her work is largely driven by the natural forms of her surroundings like the creekside boulders, bark textures of local tree species and mountain landscapes.

Most of Sarah's pieces are experimental and continue to evolve. She is interested in the journey, the process and how the vessels ultimately communicate their story through form and surface. She is always looking for new materials and methods, even leaning into accidental discoveries to move her art forward. Her studio time and her hands in clay are her calm space, a place of reflection and open-ended exploration. Sarah seeks to find the balance between expressing something that is deeply meaningful to her, and creating a sense of joy that might quietly touch the lives of others.
