NOVEMBER FEATURED ARTIST: Leigh Taylor Mickelson

MORE ON LEIGH TAYLOR MICKELSON: A resident of Ossining, NY, Leigh Taylor Mickelson is an artist and independent consultant with 22 years of experience in nonprofit arts management and program development.  From 2012-19 she served as Executive Director at Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY and was formerly on staff as the Program Director. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and English Literature from Hamilton College, and received her MFA in Ceramic Sculpture from Rochester Institute of Technology’s School for American Crafts.  Mickelson has had several articles published in various publications and catalogs, has taught ceramics and workshops across the East coast and exhibits her own work widely across the nation. Her ceramic sculpture is inspired by forms from nature, especially ones found in plant life, as a means of expressing narratives about life. Being full of dichotomy, the elements of natural forms act as a metaphor for the spiritual, emotional and physical extremes that exist within ourselves, our love relationships and our family units.
