Her treatment of natural, organic forms succeeds in transforming the common and familiar into eloquent explorations of forms and innovative, thoughtful designs. Her work exhibits a keen mastery of her material with a refined sense of craftsmanship. She blends sculptural form, scale and surface texture with a subtle color palette. Ballard’s presentation of her forms produces delightful spatial compositions that enliven any space.”
