Originally a painter, Babette Wainwright discovered the pleasure and power of expressing herself with clay, making sculptures which are informed both by her African roots and by the work of the pre-Colombian people of Haiti, the Arawaks. In 2000, she earned an MFA in Ceramics at UW Madison. She has since been working in both ceramics and painting, using the female image as a vehicle for conveying her sense of uprootedness, and her spirituality. Babette’s work is in various collections around the world.
