Jackie Ramo

Jackie Ramo has worked in a variety of artistic media, including photography, painting and ceramics. After several courses with master potters and years of experimentation, she has refined her craft and honed her own self-taught technique. Her recent works include the dual aspects of ceramicist and painter. Born and raised in Toronto, Ms. Ramo takes her inspiration from the natural world. Currently working predominately in different clays, her work focuses on representational and abstract forms, bringing new visions to old themes. Jackie's art tiles express a richness of style and colour, each possessing a unique character.

Our world is so beautiful it's impossible not to try to capture a small part of it. Those tomboy days of catching frogs and climbing trees have left a mark. From the pond in my garden to the Hubble telescope perspective of the cosmos my fascination with nature has been the prime inspiration of my work.'

'I was introduced to clay when I took a course in throwing at Harbour Front. I had discovered my media. Throwing clay lead to hand built forms which slowly got flatter and flatter, until suddenly I was making art tiles. Certainly not what I have planned when I started. These paintings with glazes have turned into a passion that lets me play with mud and paint at the same time. Art seems to be like that, finding you instead of you finding it.
