Robert Finn Porcelain Ceramics

If seeing animal heads (e.g. rabbit, owl, horse/​donkey) superimposed onto human bodies disturbs you, then you might be a bit put off by Finn’s work. But if you take just a moment to step inside the odd world he creates, you can feel the emotion in his ceramic sculptures. There is a palpable tenderness between the paired creatures, and each face exudes personality.
Works run from very small (necklace size, some with wife Kathryn’s additions) to quite large (perhaps 2 feet tall?) and from 10s to 100s (low 1000s?) of dollars.
I met Robert, aka Finn, and his wife Kathryn (also an artist, and uses some of her husbands creations as a part of her artwork!) at the Mill Valley Art Festival. They are both friendly, approachable, personable folks … the kind of people you’d love to have as neighbors/​friends and have over to dinner.
