Leigh Taylor Mickelson is a ceramic artist based in Ossining, New York whose sculptural creations showcase botanical forms in a funky, imaginative way. 
“My ceramic sculpture explores the different components of self, sexuality and family, and how these components relate and conflict with one another. I use forms from nature, especially ones found in plant life, as a means of expressing these components. Being full of dichotomy, the elements of natural forms act as a metaphor for the spiritual, emotional and physical extremes that exist within our selves, our love relationships and our family units.”

Having spent time volunteering at a meditation retreat in India, and traveling though Italy, Greece, Nepal, and Thailand, she often draws inspiration from her travels. Much of her work contains elements of organic matter derived from animals and plants, dramatically entwined with the human body.
