Sculptor and ceramicist Martha Russo pushes the boundaries of her medium. Molding paper-thin ceramic forms and putting them in awkward and unnatural positions, she makes her viewers understand fragility in its purest form. Sometimes this process involves placing thousands of organically shaped porcelain tubes on onto one sculpture. She completed her undergraduate studies at Princeton University and earned an MFA in Ceramic Sculpture at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Russo has received numerous grants and awards, including a Colorado Council for the Arts Artist Fellowship Grant. She exhibits her work nationally and internationally, at venues in New York, California, New Mexico, China, Mexico, Europe, South America, and The Middle East. The artist is also a sculpture professor in the Fine Arts Department at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.
