Artem Paramonova

Artem is a Network Engineer by day and a potter and sculptor by night. Artem was born and raised in Ukraine. He met and fell in love with his beautiful wife, Raynelle, in central Ukraine in 1994 while she was teaching English as a Second Language there with her parents. In June 1995, Artem and Raynelle married in Ukraine. They moved to Edmonton in 2000 and have worked and raised their three kids in the city ever since.  

On a whim for ‘date night’ in August 2018, Raynelle introduced Artem to throwing clay on a potter’s wheel at their maker’s space.  They soon discovered that he has a natural talent for pottery and for clay sculpture. Artem has a wonderful imagination and ability to express it in his clay sculptures.  Raynelle paints with underglazes on his pottery, and they collaborate together on many projects. Artem is looking forward to creating and exploring more of the many forms of pottery, glazing, firing and sculpting clay.
