Rae Dunn‘s work has been popping up on my radar quite a bit lately so I thought it was about time to post a few images on the blog. I wish I had endless hours in the day to profile each and every artist that I find inspiring, but I’d likely have to give up my day job! I’m quite attracted to the simple elegance of Rae’s work and I find some of her inspiration humorous, particularly the gum tree in Philadelphia that inspired a series of work – check it out on her blog site which is worth a read.

Rae’s from San Francsico and has been playing in the mud for 13 years now, finding inspiration from the world around her and expressing herself through beautiful handbuilt forms.

These winged pieces are among my favorites, however her more functional work is pretty yummy too!

She’s acheived quite a substantial amount of exposure in design and decorating magazines which can be seen on her website alongside some insight about her approach and incorporation of wabi-sabi into her practice.

Here’s a few places to look to find her work for sale:
