Sonie
Ames is the porcelain artist who created most of the art pieces
photographed on this website. She created them with her extraordinary
talent for painting realistically what she saw in nature, with her
technique for arranging designs in very pleasing ways, and with her
devotion to the whole process of painting the design onto the porcelain
then firing it into the glaze. The painting and firing process was often
repeated many, many times on one piece of china, but usually at least
three times.
Known throughout the world as "The Rose Lady," Sonie
was invited to other countries to teach and demonstrate her art form.
Many porcelain artists from still other countries traveled to the
U.S.A.
to receive
instruction from her. She
has taught hundreds of students in studios all over the
U.S.A.
as well as in her
home studio, and has touched literally thousands more aspiring artists
who have used her instructive material shown in this website. She is
well recognized for her contributions to the fine art of porcelain
painting.
Sonie Ames is all the more remarkable when
you consider that she first picked up a brush to paint a flower on a
piece of porcelain at fifty years of age! Her talent blossomed like the
roses she so lovingly painted.
