About the Artists: Lynne Hobaica and Rickie Barnett are ceramic artists who share a home and studio in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. They consider themselves storytellers and create artwork with a narrative nature. They employ humor and playfulness in their work, speaking to the fragility of life and the heavy emotions that accompany it. Through color and form, they dance in a world of play, deep emotion, and empathy. While they both work primarily with clay - making both functional and sculptural work - they also love working with other materials including painting, photography, and paper mache.
They both sell work through the Penland Gallery, Gandee Gallery, and Blue Spiral 1. Their collaborative project, Two Headed Diver, was featured within and on the cover of the March 2020 edition of Ceramics Monthly. They are both wildly obsessed with their energetic little dog, Smokey.
