"I am a 4th generation San Diego native who grew up loving the mountains, deserts, and beaches. Drawing was my first love until I discovered clay in the third grade. In high school, I was able to take my first ceramics class and I immediately fell in love with the medium. I was so excited that I could draw three dimensionally in space with my forms!

I am continually inspired by natural and native elements in my environment. I use clean, simple lines, enhanced by surface decoration. I make functional work that fills my eye with art and beauty. I am constantly finding inspiration from sticks, rocks, pinecones, and other elements of nature. The complex simplicity of these forms has always been a source of never-ending fascination.

I love to use art in my life, so when people have a piece of mine, I want them to use it and enjoy it in an everyday setting." - Shaun Craig
