Kris DeNoyer is to be honored at a recep-
tion on July 11, from 3 to 5 p.m., at
Backstreet Gallery, 1421 Bay St., and will
be featured all month at the gallery.
In 2000, DeNoyer made her first num-
bered piece. Each of her 2,300 ceramic
creations by are one-of-a-kind and num-
bered.
They range from the sophisticated raku,
wheel-thrown, sculptures to the joyful
whimsical hand built ‘critters’ and from
the tiny to the substantial.
In her menagerie of creatures you will
find a vibrant collection of animated
starfish, pelicans, fish, elephants, flying
pigs, frogs and bunnies.
“They make me laugh,” DeNoyer said
of her creations. All of these individual
critters have a special name in addition to
their number.
Always interested in art, she once
thought sketching to be her forte. After
taking classes in various art media, she
discovered ceramics and changed her
major to concentrate her artistic efforts in
that area.
“I was hooked,” said DeNoyer, who
