 Edie Pfeifer has loved working with clay since childhood. Her early art education was at Santa Monica College, where her focus was on ceramics. During her child rearing years she continued to take classes and work from her home studio. After moving to Hermosa Beach she studied sculpture for four years, fulfilling a longtime ambition. Edie feels she has found her true passion in sculpture, and hopes to continue to grow and evolve as an artist as long as she lives. She has been sculpting since 1978, and showing her work professionally since 1982. Be sure to check out the links page for Edie's other site, a video interview, and other sites of interest.Artist's StatementMovement and flow are the words that best describe the sculptures I create. A line often moves, with no seeming beginning or end, connecting one part to another. Sometimes the movement is strong and straight, sometimes gentle and flowing. Living near the ocean all my life, I have always drawn inspiration from my surroundings. This, combined with a great respect for the human form and its beauty, have been strong influences in my ever developing style. When I work, I feel a connection with the clay -- it leads me where I want to go, even though in the beginning I may not know the destination. If I listen well, the piece finds its direction.Long Beach Museum of ArtOne of my expressionist heads, "Matilda", has been accepted for Art Auction XIII.
