Rhoda Kahler

I am a ceramicist specializing in tile and sculpture with a studio in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I have shown my
work in galleries internationally, nationally, and regionally. My work has been featured in magazines, newspapers and television,
including on the Home and Garden Television network (HGTV) and the Tile Letter Magazine, among many others. In addition
to exhibiting in galleries, my large scale handmade tile murals and ceramic and steel sculptures appear in public and
private collections. Notable commissions include the Delaware Art Museum, Nashville Zoo, West Chester University, the
Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival and Community Art Center.
I conduct workshops nationally and participate in a wide range of Artist Residencies, some of which include the
Philadelphia Museum of Art and Inglis House. I am an adjunct faculty member at West Chester University, where I
received my bachelor of fine art degree in 1995
Drawing from nature, much of my art bends toward the organic, making use of abstraction and assemblage. There is
a tactile intimacy that is translated through the mud between my fingers to my pieces that beg to be touched. I am
captivated by surface and in a never ending exploration of the vast textures that can be achieved through clay. The
majority of my work is cone 6 oxidation however, I also pit fire
