JUNE WILKERSON - POTTER AND MULTI-MEDIA RESIN
ABOUT JUNE:
In my life of high school mathematics teacher, I was always adding a touch of art & color to student lessons & projects-tessellations, fractals, and similar figures (geometry).
Pottery…After retirement, I began taking pottery class through a local program where I received wheel training and learned hand-building. I am still enrolled in class and continue to learn new techniques in throwing, hand-building, and glazing.
Framed Multi-Media Resin Art…No formal training or ideas taken from the internet for my resin art designs. I had been working with oyster shells and resin prior to the idea of doing these designs. I’ve been a shell collector for as far back as I can remember. As I cleaned and sorted shells from Pensacola Beach, I set them on a purplish stained towel to dry, and thought it would be really cool to create something artistic from the pattern of shells on the towel. I secured a frame, painted the backboard, arranged the shells as I had on the towel and poured epoxy resin over the design, and voila! After experimenting with only shells, I added pottery pieces, driftwood, netting, maps, sand, greenery, jewelry, pea gravel, crystals, colored glass, broken glass, and origami figures…
June was born and raised in Biloxi and currently lives in Ocean Springs She joined Gallery 782 in December of 2024.
