About

Connie Elek is a studio artist who splits her time between New Jersey and the Florida Keys. She creates ceramic art. Her love of nature transforms clay into beautiful functional works spanning teapots, bowls, mugs, plates, soup tureens, goblets, and birdbaths.

Her portfolio of non-functional and decorative pieces illustrates a unique display of handcrafted sculptures and urns. Nonfunctional work is created using various methods and materials. The colors and designs are formed by horsehair, feathers, seaweed, "found objects" metal shavings, pine cones and whatever else may be in the area. She also creates unique fruit and cheese plates from recycled glass bottles which are "slumped" in her kiln. In the last few years, she has painted on glassware and canvas. Her canvas work features vibrant underwater scenes from nature.

As an active Board Member of the Raritan Bay Medical Center, Connie supports the Integrative Medicine Program, which includes The Learning Garden, Massage, Reflexology, Reiki and Energy Medicine, and Guided Imagery.
