"All of my ceramic pieces are made by hand. I carve the intricate designs on each piece, then individually burnish and sand them before firing. After the work cools from the first firing, each piece is washed, waxed, hand-painted with oxides, and then fired a final time up to 2400 degrees."

Kelly Jean Ohl's work reminds people of things they have found on the floor of the forest, something they have touched in a tide pool, or a single cell organism once viewed under a microscope. Her ceramic pieces aren't any of these things in particular. They are small abstract objects that reference many biological entities without being any one specifically.

Ohl uses many household utensils as well as handmade textiles in her ceramic work. This is the start for many of the intricate patterns. Each piece is then hand carved, burnished, washed, waxed, and sanded. After the building process is complete, each piece will then go through multiple kiln firings and will be hand painted with oxides.

Kelly Jean Ohl attended Minnesota State University, where she earned a BA in theater and art and an MA with an emphasis on ceramics. She also holds an MFA degree from the University of Michigan.

Stunningly beautiful!

I purchased several of her pieces 10 years ago and love them.
When new pieces were offered in a set of seven I decided to hang them on a prominent column in my living room. They are incredible! I love to stand and admire them, the creativity, the quality.
Thanks to this amazing artist!

I repainted a wall to accommodate these "artifacts". They are unique, substantial and loaded with textural interest. I even received a personalized note from the artist. Highly recommend.

Absolutely stunning

My husband bought this for me for Christmas after I told him I was in love with it - better in person than in the pictures! The pieces are so detailed and the colors are so carefully applied that the details pop.

I will be asking for the other larger set for our anniversary - just really very pleased. I unwrapped it and my family was just so impressed :) can you tell I opened it about two hours ago? Can't wait to get it on the wall!!

One of the kind

What an impressive work of art, the attention to details absolutely amazes me. Each of the art pieces have its own character; structure, colors and shape. Kelly certainly took great pride in creating this stunning art. I love every piece of it.
It blends remarkable well with my interior and every time I walk past the hallway I stop for a minute just admiring the artwork.
The items were packed extremely well, it came with proper instructions to hang them and they were numbered accordingly.
A handwritten Thank you note from the artist was also enclosed. Overall I am very pleased.
