Children playing, that favorite aunt or uncle, Sunday church, clothes on the line or a chicken all come from the heart and life experiences. Roz Roy is a storyteller. Through paper collages and sculpture figures she expresses her thoughts, memories and emotions. Roz always liked art and was working as a graphic designer in Jackson, but it was her dad and brother’s passing that motivated he to pursue her craft in earnest. She has a real connection to the world around her working with clay and paper.

When creating clay characters pieces, organic clay is used to shape the figures. A concoction dubbed “magic water” made from vinegar, water and diluted clay is used to affix to various pieces together. The use of a variety of sculpting tools are used to further refine the figures. Bright vibrant color is then added to bring the piece to life.
