with Original Works by local Artist
Kate Gouéry
Each painting is a celebration of color and each ceramic piece is an exploration of form. Pushing each concept provokes conversation about perception and personal experience and depends on how each of us has encountered art and nature in our own lives.
Empty Bowls
Have you heard of the Empty Bowls Project? This is my first year donating! It's a worldwide 'think globally act locally' project. Communities hold events where artists donate soup bowls to support a soup themed fundraiser with the intent of supporting a local food related charity. Here in Palm Beach, Bethesda by the Sea Episcopal Church works with the Palm Beach County Food Bank in putting on a $40/ticket soirée where each participant picks out a donated bowl, enjoys a soup tasting and other food and goodies! Search 'empty bowls' to find an event near you.

You'll see lots of vases from me. I love creating unique forms; from tall and elegant to rugged and nature inspired, to bud vases that remind me of little boys offering up a fistful of flowers.
Drinking from a handmade piece of art on a normal day feels earthy and artsy and so good!
From communion sets to cookie jars and boxes for your vanity, I love finding ways to bring a warm, handmade look into our living spaces.

Rich layered hues create a dramatic interplay of color - an abstract interpretation of a horizon, a sunset or simply the emotional depth of color itself. The textured transitions between shades evoke movement and intensity, making this piece a striking focal point for any setting.

Born and raised in the Northeast I pursued creativity and earned a degree in Fine Arts where I was drawn to painting and printmaking. During university, a professor recommended me for a very unique studio that made high end sculptures for themed hotels and restaurants like the Venetian and DisneyWorld. This work challenged me creatively and refined my problem solving skills. At this time I also discovered pottery - and fell in love. Working as a studio tech for 2 years and learning from some very creative minds, I was able to make as much pottery as I liked while firing both student work and my own, deepening my connection to the medium.
Eventually life brought me to Florida where I homeschooled my children and spent a decade teaching elementary and middle school art. Drawing from a wealth of resources and personal experience, I taught my students to embrace their own creative path and two simple rules: #1 Try again, and #2 Help clean up!
I'd love to hear from you!
