Imogen Carter

Imogen Carter is originally a city girl who grew up in the hustle and bustle of grey, rainy East London. She decided to make the big move to the Kootenays five years ago, which was easily one of the best decisions of her life. Since then, she has been a multi-disciplinary artist among the mountains—skiing/snowboarding, hiking, drawing, and playing with clay.

With a background in illustration, Imogen is constantly pushing herself to break through the two-dimensional barrier and delve into the world of ceramics by making beautiful and functional pieces that can be enjoyed in our everyday lives.

Imogen has fun with the relationship between earthy clay, rustic glazes, and the controlled, detailed illustrations that are a constant in her work. Marrying these three mediums brings layers of creativity to her practice. Instead of staring at a drawing on a flat surface, she loves to push your focus to follow her linework around quirky ceramic forms that also portray texture, functionality, and design.
