Bluebird
Description
This charming ceramic bluebird sculpture by North Carolina artist Judy Brater beautifully blends whimsy, craftsmanship, and reverence for the natural world. Hand-built and painted with Brater’s expressive touch, the bird perches gracefully beneath a wheel-thrown cup that doubles as a nest, creating a delightful interplay between sculpture and functional form. Soft textures, painterly surface details, and Brater’s signature warmth give the piece a personality all its own—inviting viewers to pause, smile, and connect with the gentle spirit of the woodland creatures that inspire her.
Brater’s lifelong love of birds and nature shines through in this piece, reflecting the evolution of her five-decade career from functional pottery to richly expressive sculpture. Drawing on her background in both ceramics and painting, she treats clay as a canvas, layering color, gesture, and form to capture the essence of the natural world. This bluebird, with its sweet nesting motif, is a joyful example of her ability to blend storytelling with craft—making it a delightful addition to any home or art collection.
