Annie Starling Sparks is a ceramicist and sculptor who lives on a small island in the Salish Sea.

Her sculptures appear delicate, poetic, and as if suspended in time. They invite the viewer to look closer and examine every bend, twist, and texture, bringing you into Annie’s perspective of the natural world.

“ When I was a child the most magical place to spend an afternoon was in the garden or floating on a log in the tide. During long days of unstructured play I developed a curiosity and observation of nature. Working with clay is sensuous, the mineral smells and textures connect me to my first experiences of my environment. This is my moving meditation. Through my art practice, I find my resilience and curiosity for life.”

All Annie’s ceramics are hand-sculpted, coiled or wheel thrown. Each piece is unique.
