Saira Grube
I am a Concord California based ceramic artist and a member of the Martinez Art Association. I create wheel thrown, hand carved, one of a kind pieces. I gravitate towards creatures of all kinds and botanical motifs in my work.
I also create original mixed media collage work. My collages are full of dilapidated dreamlike structures they are slowly being overtaken by nature.

Artist Statement
Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:
Saira’s work is richly textured and highly tactile with many layers of paper, ink, and paint that form a curiously welcoming world full of submerged imagery. Her distinctive personal style illustrates the artist’s love of bold, yet subtle colors which blend together to create a sense of cohesion in her work.
The pieces are filled with rich colors and many intricate details. They may include lush kelp forests, hidden treasures, odd dwellings and remnants of forgotten artifacts.
They are intriguingly entangled by a delicately dreamlike landscape filled with dilapidated structures, ancient ruins, and rambling, untamed gardens. The work focuses on the often unrecognized beauty that happens as nature slowly overtakes civilization.
The artist often finds that that when she creates a piece, it evolves unexpectedly, almost as though it has an energy and a life all of its own.
