Jane Grimm

American, b. 1942

After studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and receiving a BA degree from Sarah Lawrence College, Grimm’s career as a jewelry designer took off when her work was featured in Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue magazines. In the early 1970s Grimm moved to San Francisco and began working with clay for the first time, leading to an intensive study of the medium and, eventually, to an MFA degree in ceramics from the California College of Arts and Crafts. Her sculptural work is greatly influenced by her graduate school mentors, Viola Frey and Art Nelson.
