Beth Anne Krah

Reaching far beyond imagination and originating from an integral part of her fearless and passionate spirit, ceramic designer Beth Anne Krah began her journey in clay as her other business (providing infection prevention measures to First Responders) exploded during the Covid pandemic. Clay provided a way of escape and sanity during 20 hr. workdays.

Meticulously handcrafted from porcelain and stoneware, the delicate edges of Beth’s award-winning biomorphic designs stem from an endless fascination of creation and Genesis 1 – the depths of the ocean, the delicacy of Peony petals, and an innate desire to create the impossible. Within each piece is the conflict of an artist who has a vague idea of what she wants to create, and a clay body that argues back. Relinquishing control, Beth delicately massages each curl with anticipation of the end result.

If I’m fortunate enough to spend time on the coast alone, I tend to get distracted with Sandpipers and Seagulls. But it still surprises me when I suddenly realize the sun disappeared, the crowds have dispersed and I’m the only one left. The moon appears like a pinhole through which to view God and wonder what marvels are on the other side. The surf slows and I settle in for one last sandcastle before retreating. Those are the moments I am most serene. So brief are these glimpses of peaceful solitude that I cling to them all the more.

Crashing down off the high seas, this piece swells up within me a desire to grasp hold of life with as much gusto as I can muster up. Surprisingly, my hand fits perfectly underneath the wave as my thumb rests in the curvature of nature’s splendor.

Very rarely do we get a chance to see what is formed deep beneath the surface of the seas. This piece is reminiscent of deep sea coral 20,000’ below where lush coral gardens thrive. Not requiring sunlight, they need only to trap organisms in passing currents to obtain energy and nutrients, as this sculpture captures brilliantly.
