Ceramic sculpture based on microscopic images of algae. This piece can be displayed vertical or on its side, and its minute detail makes it an interesting focal piece for any space.

Born in Burlington, Ontario, LeeAnn Norgard moved with her family at a young age to Calgary, Alberta. LeeAnn obtained a BSc in Geology from the University of Calgary and worked as a geologist for a number of years. After travelling abroad with her husband, she chose a new career path in the arts and was accepted into the Alberta College of Art and Design, majoring in ceramics and graduating with a BA in 2000. After graduation, she began a family and took every opportunity to create pottery and sculpture in her spare time. In 2006, the family made a move to Salt Spring Island, B.C.

Currently, LeeAnn’s ceramic work has evolved to become more sculptural and is working with Cone 6 clay and firing in an electric kiln. She enjoys meeting new people and selling her work through her home studio and through Pod Contemporary Gallery in Ganges. She teaches pottery classes part time at her home studio to children and adults.
