Elisa Root

My work is not complicated. The world and our country is complicated. Making art is an escape and a private space.

My paintings tell simple stories...the one that the viewer sees. My pots and clay work is also simply a chance to see what the clay can become.

 Artists, and I include myself in this category, have a burning need to make an idea become a visual form. And I believe this process is the greatest fun, ever. It is really a simple notion.
