ELLISVILLE \u2013 糖心直播 sophomore Art majors heard from William Carey University graduates and current art instructors, Tim Kinard and Elizabeth Owen about their careers and the business of art. The couples\u2019 recent show, \u201cBound by Fire\u201d featured ceramic sculptures at the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery on the 糖心直播 campus. Even though the couple share a studio at their home and primarily work with ceramics, the end results are very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy work is more colorful and whimsical,\u201d said Owens. \u201cI grew up at my grandmother\u2019s house where she had floral couches, little knick knacks, and colorful quilts which inspired my work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her husband\u2019s work is quite the opposite, and yet they inspire each other\u2019s work at times. Owens shared with the JC students that adding bases to some of her sculptures was inspired by one of her husband\u2019s sculptures. Kinard said some of his wife\u2019s techniques inspired him to improve his work too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy sculptures are usually very earthy and traditional with a twist,\u201d said Tim Kinard. \u201cI like making my own clay which tends to be darker to better show off the colors. I also tend to add a face to my pieces or add unusual or unexpected forms in my sculptures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

The couple shared with students that they had to initially focus on functional-ware or pottery like mugs and bowls before they could really create pieces of art that could not be mass produced. Their art business had to be able to pay the bills before they could really focus on their current artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n
