Debbie Glovin Rosenberg is a        ceramic artist who incorporates found objects in her hand thrown, high-fire stoneware. A California native living in Malibu, she utilizes indigenous materials in her work. The Oceanware series evokes ocean gardens,  an emerald lapidary term, by using individual pieces of sea glass, sand dollars and shells to create the cloisonné effect of her  beloved Malibu surf.

 

An avid world traveler, Rosenberg employs a cross-cultural and historical perspective in her work.  Her interest in history and culture provide the inspiration for sculpted, carved, pierced, threaded and rough treated clay.  Many display incised blessings from such languages as Thai, Latin, Hawaiian, Ethiopian, Chinese and Hebrew.  The finishes and shapes in works like Uterus echo artifacts from her early explorations of archeological sites in Israel and Italy.

 

To honor worldwide events, while raising cultural awareness and charitable contributions, Rosenberg has collected debris from natural occurrences such as the Thai Tsunami, Haitian, Japanese, Chilian and Chinese earthquakes, Hawaiian volcanic eruptions and others. She uses the ash, in such powerful pieces as Tsunami, with a variety of glazes in a painterly style suggestive of wave energy. The art is available for exhibit, sale and commission
