Buy My dumb art

Shelby Cole

Buy My Dumb Art is a curated extension of my ceramic practice, where my humor and honesty meet form. I began working with clay in 2009 at UW-Platteville and have continued building my studio and body of work alongside motherhood. My sculptures often center the female form, exploring vulnerability, autonomy, and embodiment with a balance of playfulness and intention. While the name resists pretense, the work itself is considered, technically grounded, and made to be lived with. It is art that invites reflection without asking to be taken too seriously.
