It's easy to imagine these miniature vessels coming to life at night on their shelves, breaking into song and dance in a Looney Tunes moment of … cuteness. Heidi Bekebrede is the Northern California multimedia and ceramic artist who crafts this Cuteware collection. She tells us that her inspiration “is my desire to convey the joyful feeling that is evoked by the Silly Symphony cartoons from the 1930s. All the bees, trees, cats and dogs are singing and dancing with the plates and cups in a lovely colorful world of happiness. I make colorful cartoon folk art that is sometimes functional or at least pretending to be useful.”
Bekebrede studied studio art at the University of California, Davis in the late 1970s, under the tutelage of Robert Arneson and Roy De Forest, artists famous for their funky, irreverent styles.
