Sculptural clay artist Kay Lynne Sattler draws inspiration for her original art from the enduring and ephemeral forms of nature.  The artist has established her own distinctive artistic expression by combining two techniques to stimulate and inspire one another.  The results are dramatic collaborations, establishing relationships between contemporary ceramic sculpture and the ancient art of precious metal gilding.  Her techniques are a sophisticated balance of intuitive and spontaneous gestures, juxtaposed with the controlled use of precious metals.  The self illuminating metal enkindles a primordial source of life that emanates from deep within her clay vessels.  The art of Kay Lynne Sattler is primal, pure and precise, evoking the elemental essence of creation.
