About the artist
Christine Bravata, M.A.
For over 20 years as an artist, equestrian and mental health professional, Christine has incorporated art, animals and nature to help autistic youth, veterans and abused children suffering from PTSD.
Her expertise in Equine Assisted Therapy, Art Therapy and Nature Exposure Therapy, has allowed her to guide others through trauma recovery and beyond, and is the inspiration behind her work.
Each one-of-a-kind piece captures the beauty of nature and the balance between flexibility & strength, vulnerability & resilience.
"Working with clay allows us to create, with true authenticity, a connection to the earth as it is transformed within our hands. Creating art brings us into a calm and focused state of awareness and living in the present moment. Art is simply good for the soul."
Functional Sculpture
Combining slab construction with modern pottery wheel throwing techniques, Bravata captures the essence of her animal subjects in her fully functional sculptural pieces.
"I love feeling the clay move through my fingers as it is evolves into creation. As a clay artisan, I am an active observer; as the "personality" embedded in each piece reveals itself... and suddenly, the earth is transformed within my hands."
Everyday Pottery & Tableware
Uniquely designed tableware inspired by nature's landscapes, textures and colors to bring nature's beauty into your home.
"Whether you love the mountains or the sea,
I hope my pottery takes you to your happiest, most peaceful place...Every day."
