Her narrative work explores how fragments of fairytales\, myth\, and popular culture\, specifically advertising\, allow her to tell coded stories of gender and sexuality. Elizabeth received an MFA from Ohio State University and a BFA in ceramics and glass from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She has also studied at Penland School of Craft\, Pilchuck Glass School\, and Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts. Elizabeth has been a resident artist at the Vermont Studio Center and the International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemét\, Hungary. She has received a 2010 Jerome Foundation Ceramic Artist Project Grant and a fiscal year 2017 Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board (MSAB). In 2021 and 2022\, she received Creative Support for Individuals Grants from the MSAB. In 2025\, she received a Flexible Support grant as well as an Arts Impact for Individuals grant from the Metro Regional Arts Council of Minnesota. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Jadoonath is a Minneapolis-based ceramic artist whose career is marked by a deep commitment to the regional pottery community and a prolific exhibition record. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Bemidji State University in 1998\, laying the foundation for a practice that spans functional pottery\, sculpture\, and arts education. Over the past two decades\, his work has been featured in numerous prestigious venues\, including the Northern Clay Center\, the Minneapolis Institute of Art\, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art. Notable recent exhibitions include “Earth and Water” at the Phipps Center for the Arts and “The Fantastical Worlds of Kim Simonsson” at the Swedish Institute. \n\n\n\nJadoonath’s professional contributions extend beyond the studio into significant leadership and pedagogical roles. He has served as a faculty member at the Northern Clay Center since 2005 and has taught at the Eagan Art House and the White Bear Center for the Arts. His expertise is frequently sought for workshops and juries; he has served as a juror for the Jerome Fellowship and the Highland Arts Festival and was a member of the 2018 NCECA planning committee. \n\n\n\nThe quality of Jadoonath’s craftsmanship is reflected in the accolades he has received\, such as the Jerome Grant\, the Red Wing Ceramics Fellowship\, and a Cultural Community Partnership Grant. His work is held in several permanent collections\, including the Tweed Art Museum and the Margaret Harlow Ceramic Collection. He is currently represented by galleries such as Schaller Gallery and The Grand Hand\, and he remains an active participant in regional traditions like the St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the McKnight Summer Open House
