Pleasant Wright creates functional sculptures. She digs and processes the clay for her work from the mountains of Central New Mexico. All sculptures are individual, one of a kind pieces, due to the hand sculpting process she has developed. Pleasant’s studio and home are located in the high desert (Llano) of New Mexico on a 2 3/4 acre ranchito.

"I make a line of functional sculptures out of New Mexico red clay. These pieces have a variety of uses (candle holders, storage jars, light fixtures, bowls,incense holders, ect.) I also make applique quilt/wall hangings."

Ms Wright’s work has been shown in galleries and shops throughout New Mexico and Minnesota.
