Born in 1965 in New York City,
Abby Salsbury attended the Philadelphia College of Art and the University of Colorado.
In 1991, she started a gallery in Massachusetts with her husband, DeanPulver, while maintaining a clay studio, developing her pottery, teaching classes and exhibiting in wholesale shows. Abby left the Berkshires for Colorado to work at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in 1996. When summer ended, she made her way to Taos, NM. Abby has concentrated on her clay business, Butterpie Productions, since moving. She has shown her work across the US. In the fall of 2003, Abby enrolled in the University of New Mexico’s printmaking department.
Focused on etching and the
monoprint processes, she discovered many similarities between clay and printmaking. Abby notes, “In the last decade, I have been investigating 2- and 3-dimensional art making with a mix of mediums and processes. My Butterpie tableware line, deco plates, wall tiles, low-relief collaged prints, shadow boxes, and stage set models are evidence of these interests.
I now transfer my print images to ceramic decal paper and fire them directly onto my clay. My collaged print backdrops appear in my boxes and stage sets. My interest in the carved clay surfaces and printmaking have resulted in hybrid objects that support all my sensibilities, explore variations within the matrix, and
produce a series of unique
related works.”
