Art from my heart
| All images and information Copyright Marie Segal 2007-2008 |
I have been creating art since I was old enough to hold crayons. I love color, it sings
to me. I started on the road to art with my parents encouragement. They have always
been supportive through my many trials and tribulations, even to this very day,
Thank you, I love you!
At 14 I found ceramic clays, this was the key, the one, the all that is in my life, clay. I
took other classes, photography, jewelry making and lost wax casting, commercial
art, fine art, stained glass, weaving, crafts, and anything else that I could get my
hands on, everything I have learned comes in to play in my work, but I always come
back to clay.
In 1979 I found oven bake clay, and that was the marriage of all of my loves, color,
jewelry, and clay. The journey through this medium has been a long one and where I
spend all of my time, it is my medium of my choice.
In 1981, while raising our new family, my husband Howard and I started doing craft
shows, street fairs, and swap meets to promote and sell our products. I have
manufactured finished product to the wholesale and retail trade. At one point I had
18 employees and sold to Bullocks, Macy's, Nordstrom's, the Icing, and lots of other
major stores at the time. I remember being the busiest I have ever been, having more
money than I have ever had, and having no time or inclination to do more art or
anything else. My work was in show rooms in New York and Los Angeles and I
produced product lines 5 times a year. This is not always what it is cracked up to be.
I learn things by going through them, at least that is the way I learn them best.
In the many changes I have made with this medium, it is time to make another, a time
to be all I can be for myself and my family and not for another company or person. All
of the pieces you see on my web site are made by me, with my own two hands, my
heart and my soul, and are one of a kind.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I love making it,
