Sarah Veak: Digital Debut

April 5, 2024 - May 31, 2024

at Belger Crane Yard Studios
2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108

Belger Arts’ April and May Digital Debut artist is Sarah Veak. Originally from the southeast, Veak apprenticed with studio potter Renata Wadsworth in Ithaca, NY. During this time, she learned everything from throwing pots to building and firing a wood kiln. From there, Veak has worked and lived across the country where she continually hones her craft and builds a strong clay community alongside some of that city’s best potters.

In this body of work, Veak leans into her artistic origins, with clean lines and bold swaths of color that speak to her earliest work and some of her earliest memories. She wanted to create that feeling of nostalgia from her childhood; the checkered tablecloth in her grandmother's kitchen, air thick with the sweet nuttiness of pancakes and syrup, the scent of rich coffee, ripe orange juice and mouthwatering bacon.

Veak’s work will be on view at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery from April 5 to May 31, 2024.
