Jeri Hollister is a native Michigan artist from Ann Arbor. Her passion for horses and clay can be traced back to her roots in rural Michigan and her bottomless sandbox. She has presented exhibitions for three decades across the world, including recent exhibitions in France.

Artist Statement / "Horses continue to be a satisfying subject matter for me. Since pre-history, the horse has fascinated artists. Using the potter's wheel and traditional ceramic practices, I construct my sculpture from the ground up. Building is a series of decisions, adding pieces one at a time. Each sequential decision influences the next. There are forms I have not imagined as a unit, yet they evolve from my hands. When I look at a finished work, I am often surprised. Because I am focused on each step of the process, when I step back, I have a sense of seeing the piece for the first time."
