Adrian Arleo

The Missoula, Montana-based, artist who studied at American University in Rome before completing her undergraduate and graduate studies in ceramics in the US, is exhibiting new figurative sculptures that draw on her background as an archaeological field-worker in Italy and eastern Washington state. Crusted, aged and yet renewable, the male and female figures are drenched in glaze resembling bronze patina and are joined by animals with mythological histories such as lions, owls and bees.
