Ariel Clute

Ariel Clute is an artist living in Berkeley, California. After graduating from California College of the Arts in 2008, Ariel taught printmaking at Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California. Her days are now split between being a mother of three and working with ceramics in her home studio in Berkeley, California.

Her work is a meeting point of form and function, bringing art into the everyday living experience. When I paint I try to bring imagery to life, while still having it fixed in a specific moment in time. This process is a way of honoring the little and under-looked moments in my life. Each piece is hand built, allowing the shape and feel to emerge organically.

Ariel’s work is known for its sculptural, and minimalist forms, one can see the evolution of Ariel Clute’s artistry and approach to the delicate and complexity of each piece.
