Description
Karen Donleavy was born in London, raised on the Isle of Man and lived in Ireland before coming to Los Angles in 1979 to produce her whimsical, highly decorative animal designs in high-fired porcelain.
She studied at Dartington Hall School in Devon, England, the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and London's Harrow School of Art, where her teachers included world-renowned potters David Leach, Michael Casson and Walter Keeler. While she tried working in other media--etchings and drawings--she always returned to her first love, ceramics, to express her fondness for animals.
Since beginning her line of hand-painted dinner ware, she has expanded her porcelain menagerie to more that 50 designs which are available in a variety of hand-thrown tableware, ranging from pitchers and platters to mugs and magnets. They are desired for both their functional use and increasingly, as collectibles.
