for Betty Feves
Betty Feves
born La Crosse, Washington, 1918; died Pendleton, Oregon, 1985
Feves was an innovator in ceramic sculpture creating modernist and abstract works that moved dramatically away from traditional vessel forms. Her works grew from her love of the eastern Oregon landscape which was also reflected in her preference for finding her own materials and making her own glazes. She began exhibiting her work in 1952 at the Oregon Ceramic Studio and then nationally. Her work is included in numerous public and private Northwest collections as well as the Smithsonian and other national museums. In 2012, the Museum of Contemporary Craft (Portland) in partnership with the Pacific Northwest College of Art held a posthumous retrospective exhibition of her work.
