Janet Richardson-Baughman earned
her BFA from Central Michigan University and received an MFA in ceramics
from Indiana State University in 1977.
After graduation, she taught college and began her studio career. Continuing
her ceramic work, she developed a series of elegant vessels, contemporary
sculptures and large-scale handmade tile for the walls. "My work is
architecturally influenced" says Richardson-Baughman, "my father was an
architect and I grew up surrounded by line and shape". Her work is a
sophisticated blend of form, color and rhythm and when creating a piece she
"visualizes the lines and color as a poem in motion".
Janet expanded her media to include pastels, mixed media, collage and
painting. Her work has been included in many exhibitions and galleries
nationally. Her work has also been very successful in the corporate market,
including custom commissions and is represented in many corporate and
commercial settings.
Janet lives an idyllic existence with her artist/husband on the small horse
farm where they also have their studio. They work together everyday, and for
them it is the perfect partnership because they compliment one another so
well.
