Carol Holtzman Fregoso
Picture
Carol Holtzman Fregoso sculpts stoneware and porcelain.  Her pieces, primarily human figures, sometimes portraying small, reverent persons, sometimes larger, bolder, articulate individuals, translate a bond between daily life and spiritual life.  The sculptures have a kinetic quality:  the women and men characters mean to move through the ceramic.  And ironically, in their oddity, Fregoso’s sculpted people – Semitic, open-mouthed, awkward, amorous – tell a story of everywoman, everyman.                                                                                                                                

Carol Holtzman Fregoso holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, graduating with honors.  She studied under Viola Fry, Art Nelson, and Corkendahl. She has been a clay artist for forty five years, and her work has been exhibited and sold through out the United States and Mexico and is in many private collections and a museum.

Not only does carol have a passion for creating her own sculptures, but she has also carried her passion for teaching both to high school students at The Branson School in Ross (1970-77) and, for the past 25 years, to daily workshops in her studio, now in Sebastopol.  (Under her guidance students have unearthed the truth that they can become - and many have become - great artists).  

Carol is fortunate to be able to open to the emotions of life and express those feelings in clay.
