Marie DeVito is a New York city-born artist ceramic artist, arrived in Bennington last year after a long stint in Los Angeles as a talent agent-by-day, artist-by-night!  She began working with hand-built clay forms in Los Angeles, where she was a member of the Cahuenga School.  Her ceramic design pieces reflect her eclectic background — combining bold West Coast colors with sensible East Coast practicality, a pleasing marriage of freedom and function. She produces whimsical, functional, highly
colorful potteries.

Marie's goal is making people smile when they see her work. She want people to want to reach out and \ touch them, and to feel good about using them or displaying them.
