Tory Grove

Artist Statement

In 2015, I fell in love with the texture of clay between my fingers and fused my passion for abstract painting and multimedia with my newfound fervor of hand building. Having been a Juvenile Probation Officer for Los Angeles County for 30 plus years I found my pottery a natural avenue to share how I see and experience tension, beauty, struggle and celebration in all of us. The greatest gift we can give one another is to listen and truly see each other�s uniqueness. Hence, each of my pieces are one of a kind.
