Artist Biography
About Deborah Riva-Robidou
Deborah grew up in the Salinas Valley of California and taught math for 20 years in Sitka, Alaska. Living in small towns made Deborah especially good and creating with whatever was available. Deborah took welding classes at the local university in order to build garden gates when she retired from teaching. She soon found that her unusual sculptures were what brought herself and others the greatest joy. She now makes assemblage sculptures, combining car parts and other found objects with hand-formed ceramics. She also created sprites and has a trademark for My Sprite Life. She has written children’s books and created a sprite world where she imagines sprites spreading happiness wherever they go.
