Michaela Bromberek is passionate about the ceramic arts and is proud to work at the Bray. She holds a psychology degree but has always had a deep love of the arts. Michaela strives to bring her woodfired utilitarian forms into the simplest of moments and spaces.
Maura Wright
Maura Wright weds high art to low until we can’t tell the difference, until we feel ourselves acknowledging the staginess of all art, of all life. The pastiche considers the current conversation between craft and high art–the former all about repetition/perfection, the latter about the medium of clay as expressive material. The decorative is primarily dissected. Glazed vases and vessels feel pried from still life. The pleasure of the work comes from deft and shifting angles between the tradition of the past and the impropriety and insouciance of the present moment, from questioning the real and the imitation.
Maura Wright, received a Master of Fine Arts from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2018 and a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2013. Residencies include: the International Ceramic Research Center in Skaelskor, Denmark; the International Ceramic Studio in Kecskemet, Hungary; Red Star Studios in Kansas City, MO; The Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, MT; and Red Lodge Clay Center in Red Lodge, MT.

Katie Bosley
Katie crafts porcelain vessels that combine dynamic forms and dimensional surfaces to create a captivating presence. Formal components such as line, space, and color are carefully considered to create objects that are striking at first glance and reward further inspection. Constructed with an emphasis on symmetry and structure, the works challenge conventional interpretations of the vessel and promote a sense of awe.
