WAVES  Cheryl Folkers

Cheryl Folkers also accepts portrait commissions.

Capture the essence of your imagination with a custom piece. Commissions typically take two weeks or more, depending on the complexity, while the starting price for painting commissions is $1,000 and varies with the size of the piece.

Cheryl Folkers received a suggestion to approach the Fairweather Gallery to represent her work. It’s a well-played, successful story. Thank you to the artist and to the referral for doing things right.

The best way to contact a gallery is through email or mail—never by phone or visit. Direct mail is a great way to get images of your work and your resume right in the hands and sight of a gallery you have carefully selected to consider your work.

Also, prices aren’t openly displayed in social media because the artists want the work discussed in critical terms and historical context. While technology has changed the way we experience art, it has also provided new opportunities to evolve and reach new audiences.

Introducing Hui Yong Kim’s art for the May exhibition STROKES OF GENIUS.

Introducing moon jar artist Hui Yong Kim, who creates glazing techniques that mimic planetary movements.

Galaxy Jar planetary movements.

Moon Jar where the focus on specific principles is pertinent to the finished product.

Hui-Yong Kim (pronounced He-Young) is a ceramic artist specializing primarily in Asian art forms but also working with current aesthetics and functional pottery. Within traditional art forms, she creates the popular Korean moon jars and vases, where the focus on specific principles of a line is pertinent to the finished product. 

She explores various glazing and firing techniques from the kiln and raku firing, creating her glazes for both. Her functional pottery features the playful look of line drawings, glazes, and wearable art. Hui-Yong’s fascination with the galaxy has greatly influenced the creation and application of her glazes, where the result can clearly mimic the planetary movements. Each item is an evolution – occasionally a stroke of genius!

Hui-Yong is a native of South Korea and immigrated to America in her adult years. She has lived and studied in Singapore under Master Chuan Siang Boon and took tutelage in Korea.

She furthered her education at the Portland Community College Ceramic Studio and currently owns and manages her own Galaxy Clay studio. 

She is a member of the Oregon Potters Association and participates in shows in Oregon and Washington states. Her work has been exhibited in the Lawrence Gallery, Guardino Gallery and currently featured in Australia’s Clayful magazine by Sophia Cai.

Thank you so much for selecting my work. I’m so happy to participate in the exhibition. Thank you so much for showing me the example of another artist’s statements. They were nice statements. I wish you the best for the show.

Best regards,

Hui-Yong
