august Featured artist
Carol Geary
Carol Geary is a potter who throws mud because the Earth is a potter’s playground.
Over the years she has experimented with many art mediums, including photography, mixed media,
sculpture, and pottery. After experiencing a life altering illness, she deeply connected with pottery.
Being centered on the wheel helped bring inner peace, strength, and mindfulness to her life.
Her philosophy centers around unique and individualized pieces that put us in touch with our personal relationships, enhance the experience of social gatherings, while adding a creative element to the living space.
Born and raised in upstate New York, CG now calls Carolina Beach home.
Before settling into pottery, she studied photography under Lowell Masterson, participating in two Photoworks International Exhibitions at Barrett Art Gallery, and contributing works to three of “The 100” at Locust Grove Gallery.
Later, CG worked alongside multiple master potters at Vassar College, Barrett Art Center, and Art Centro of Poughkeepsie, New York.
Notable awards include: a Silver Award at the Vassar Club, honorable mention at The Trolley Car Event at Art Centro, and best in show at the Mid-Hudson Heritage Day of the Dead.
In addition to her own work, CG has managed three National Cup Shows, and two North East sculpture exhibitions.
CG enjoys working with bright colors and carving, bringing light and levity into her work.
Her most recent work exhibits the wheel as a tool in the creation of stacked sculpture forms.
Enjoy her functional vases, and sculpture piece “Tilly Tally “.
Carol is a Board member of the IAC and worked hard to develop the Pop-up Festivals and Rotating Exhibitions.
You can find some of her Amazing pieces at Crush & Grind and The Gallery at the Courtyard by Marriott.
