Jutta
was born in Germany, discovered clay during her 5-year stay in Kyoto, Japan
and has lived in Littleton, Colorado for almost twenty years. Her
sensuous wall reliefs emerge above all from an intense identification with the
outdoors and a fascination with all of nature's shapes and textures. She
works with a complex palette: underglazes, glazes and metallic
lustres. Her airbrushing technique and a multi firing process
yield rich and subtle color patterns. Her work has been exhibited
nationally and is being collected by in individuals and corporations
in the United States, Europe and Japan.
