About Lorraine Luna

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Textile design and a Master's Degree in Transformative Art.  I worked as a weaver and interned at the De Young Museum as a textile conservator.  I changed course when a friend told me about a ceramic studio near me.  I had wanted my weaving to be 3 dimensional and had been dissatisfied with the result of my wire woven sculptures. Being able to build a 3 dimensional sculpture was like being able to finally speak the creation language that I was struggling with.  That was the beginning of my work in clay. My inspiration comes from paying attention plants, animals, and changes in the landscape as time goes by.  When I pay close attention to what is happening around me, in my garden, in the skies, who is flying where, do they have a nest nearby?  I feel the joy of being a part of the beauty and cycles around me.
