Collection: Cathy Lombard
Cathy Lombard is a Toronto native with a varied background in the fine arts. Lo,bard spent the academic part of her artistic career at the Ontario College of Art, where she graduated in design, and the University of Guelph, where she obtained a Bachelor’s Degree majoring in Fine Art. As well as ceramics, her early work was in metal, where she worked as a sculptor and on commissioned pieces with artist Ted Bieler.
Lombard has returned to traditional wheel thrown ceramics, drawn to the technical discipline, creativity and stillness the work entails.
"I enjoy the potential of marrying commodity with delight and the tactile pleasure of drawing, tooling and working with clay and unpredictable glazes. My style reflects an admiration for Canadian potters Robin Hopper and Kayo O’Young, as well as Navajo artist Maria Martinez."
Residing in Scugog for the past 28 years, Lombard spent most of her life moving further out into the hinterland and is now at home in the bucolic wilderness on the moraine, in a place that nourishes her spirit and inspires her work.
Cathy's current works are glazed in a soft and earthy palette and often incorporate small sculptural accents.
