Working with clay is a passion for Kimberly Coots. Over the past eight years, she has discovered and perfected many techniques for creating her unique pottery. After first putting her design ideas on paper, she transfers those designs by throwing, hand-building, and carving clay into three-dimensional objects.

Kimberly's works incorporate many variations on contemporary and classical forms. While her work shows the influence of the artists under whom she has studied, including Harry Hearne, Charlie Akin, Stephen Robison, and Kathleen Gus, Kimberly's use of the medium has taken a direction entirely her own.

Kimberly is an elementary school teacher in Nashville, Tennessee.
