Sculptor: Ellen Kong Kong is the author of The Great Clay Adventure. Her work is in numerous corporate and private collections. “My roots as a painter have branched freely into my current interests in ceramics. Thus surface and form have become mutually dependent in my work. I seek surface designs that rise, dance, and express three-dimensional forms. Painting and sculpture cross-pollinate, yielding synergistic, hybrid forms.”
