Sally Fletcher-Murchison

Sally Fletcher-Murchison is an American ceramic artist who was born in Hawaii in 1933. She grew up in Sacramento, California and received a BFA in advertising art from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1955. She worked as a designer for years before returning to Hawaii. She studied ceramics at the University of Hawaii, where she received an MFA in 1966. She has taught at the Hawaiokinai Potters’ Guild, the University of Hawaii Lab School and the Honolulu Academy of Arts. She is known for her massive hand-built stoneware sculptures that resemble pots, but are nonfunctional. Since the 1990s, she has turned her attention to figurative ceramic sculpture, especially rhinoceroses. It is her avowed intent that these sculptures will help call attention to the mistreatment and extinction of animals.

The Hawaii State Art Museum and the Honolulu Academy of Arts are among the public collections holding work by Sally Fletcher-Murchison.
