If art could talk, Romney Dodd-Ortland's work would have much to say. Like their
creator, her brilliantly colored and highly imaginative dishware and decorative
pieces are truly one-of-a-kind. Born and raised in the far north, Romney started
painting her colorful ceramics in 1991 after the birth of the first of her three
sons. She originally only wanted to make a set of dishes for herself, but
friends liked her whimsical designs so much, they asked to buy them. Her talent
and trademark lies in her intuitive use of bold, rich, saturated colors—vibrant
peaches, blues, reds, greens, black, and white, to name a few. She employs a
stunning mix of patterns and designs, accentuated by loose, calligraphic brush
strokes. Romney has also begun applying her design talents to other media—she is
painting vibrant floral designs for Dansko on a line of Limited Edition Clogs
and has started a line of art cards distributed in Alaska and the Northwest by
Taku Graphics. |
