Dori Jalazo — Her sculpture and contemporary ceramic art is collected world-wide by celebrities and is in many public and private collections. Henry Winkler when speaking of Dori Jalazo's work, said "The art was so beautiful that the spirit jumped right out of the box!"
Dori's work describes in magical ways the journey we all take through life's terrain. Dori says, "The work comes through me. It speaks to the Heart and Soul. The details, the faces, the hidden messages go so deep that not to be touched is impossible."
Each of Dori's pieces tell a story. There are mythological and personal elements to each one. Dori attended law school and quit with 1/2 semester to go. She says she always knew she would be an artist-never a lawyer, so " what was the sense of continuing?"
Dori lost a leg at age four. Her art is because of what happened to her, not despite what happened and reflects her lifelong journey of healing and overcoming many other obstacles.
Ceramic is the core material used but her work also includes, fabric, charms, beads, and antique materials. Dori's work is carried exclusively in North Carolina by The Art Shop.
