Born in Oakland, CA, Rosalinda's early years were focused on the aesthetics of functional pottery at the wheel. Currently, Rosalinda is inspired by the sculptural diversity of many Bay Area Artists. She enjoys the process of creating voluminous forms that are slab built, then altered and textured -- expressing the immediate response clay gives back -- to create timeless qualities of touch, environment, and nature.
