Clarice Dreyer (b. 1946) creates paintings, prints, and sculptures that draw inspiration from the structures, rhythms and processes of the natural world. Working across media—including cast bronze, aluminum, oil and encaustic—she transforms observations of growth, erosion, movement and transformation into abstract forms that balance precision with intuition. Her work investigates the dynamic relationship between natural systems and human perception, revealing patterns that exist across scales, from microscopic organisms to geological formations. Through repetition, accumulation and organic geometry, Dreyer's artworks evoke both the complexity and underlying order of the environments that surround us. Born in Missoula, Montana, Dreyer earned a B.F.A. from Montana State University and an M.F.A. from the University of California, Berkeley. Her work has been recognized through numerous commissions, public projects and three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
