Jennifer King (b. 1968, Connecticut) makes ceramic pots rich with imagery of intertwined figures juxtaposed uncomfortably with references to the natural world, using a rich palette of glazes and textures. After a tumultuous upbringing and personal struggles, King found her way as a student of ceramics and printmaking at the University of Colorado in Boulder where she studied under renowned ceramicist and painter Betty Woodman. The deconstruction of the form of the vessel became the focus of King's creative exploration.

King's imagery evokes a psychological exploration of how we perceive ourselves. She is continually reinventing her pots, using various traditional and “invented” techniques to create them, exploring bold patterns, brushstrokes and colors with a naive sensitivity. King has participated in a number of group and solo shows in and around Los Angeles. In addition to her unique fine art works, her practice includes a functional line of ceramics which can be found in select boutiques and museum shops across the country. Her works are in the public collections of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego. King lives and works in Los Angeles.
