4x4” decorative tile by handcrafted The Clay Trout Pottery

Kim Barry, painter, production potter, art educator and owner of Clay Trout Pottery, has been living in the South Coast of Massachusetts for most of her life. Her love of nature informs and inspires her paintings and clay works. For a number of years, Kim has focused on shells, flowers, fruit and vegetables as subject for her work. In these dynamic paintings, prints and drawings, this subject matter is used to reference human form, gesture, memory, and sensuality. She is also inspired to paint the coastal landscape of New England. Kim received her Associates of Fine Arts degree from Colby Sawyer College, BFA in Sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
