Artist Statement
Nada Boner's work is as diversified as her life. Her passion and focus is in ceramic sculpture, influenced by nature, her figurative works reflect the world around her.
Aspiring, as an artist, to capture a mere glimpse of God's beauty in the human form, floral and animal depictions. Her sculptures tell a story to the viewer with the body language or the groupings of characters.
Clay is Nada's chosen medium and Raku one of her favorite glaze techniques. The extremes of nature's elements- fire, air and water- create
the effect on her work. Each piece is unique and impossible to duplicate. This process is a constant suprise and challenge to the artist. Reduction glazing on clay sculpture is a delight to behold. Her other technique is stoneware sculpted,mat glazed giving the sculpture a raw vitality.
A number of successful shows and awards have made her name stand out among local artists. Galleries showing her current works are: Bare Hands, Birmingham, and Lyda Rose, Homewood. Patina Gallery in Fairhope, Alabama, and Clemens & Company Gallery in Georgia. Her works can always be found at Four Seasons Art and Antiques in Homewood, Alabama
Nada teaches adults the art of handbuilding in clay at a local community facility.
