B.Aline Blanchard is part of a long tradition of
artists who write and writers who do art, including Kurt Vonnegut,
Lawrence Ferlinghetti, William Butler Yeats, and Aldous Huxley.
Mr. Ferlinghetti, now 88, lionized for his book, Coney Island of the
Mind, was asked whether he considers himself a painter or a poet
first, said, "It's just a different medium. It's all the same urge, the
same expression, the same message. Some day, it might come out
graphically, another day, it'll come out in words." (The Writer's Brush,
Donald Friedman, 2007.)
Ms. Blanchard has studied with more than a dozen
artists, most notably with Michael Dowling at the Danforth Museum School,
Framingham, MA, and Tatiana McKinney at the Venice Art Center,
Venice, FL. She has traveled widely and visited museums and
galleries throughout the United States and Europe and Asia, a traveling classroom. Aline has been working in clay since 1998. She was initially attracted to a workshop entitled "The Tile As Art" with Tracy Grauel. Her most influential teachers are Korean master potter of Sarasota, Ki Woon Huh, and Walter Yovaish of the Venice Art Center.
