Ann Stokes
1922-2014 (UK)
Ann Stokes was a British artist known for her distinctive earthenware pieces that blend utility with artistic expression. Born in 1955 in the United Kingdom, she developed a reputation for creating ceramics that are both innovative and rooted in traditional techniques.
Stokes's practice involved hand-building and wheel-throwing to produce a range of functional and sculptural works. Her pieces often feature organic forms and intricate surface decorations, drawing inspiration from nature and the human figure.
Notable solo exhibitions of Stokes's work include Ann Stokes at Camden Art Centre in London (2009), where her ceramic objects were displayed in the Artists' Studio.
