Her name is Pat Oyama. She studied art/ceramics in Alfred, NY, then apprenticed in Japan through her 20's. She used to do mainly traditional stuff- Japanese style bowls, plates, tea cups/kettles, but has evolved over time and now does a lot of funky slab work and masks. I don't think she sells through any galleries outside CA, but does sell at a handful in the SF Bay Area, as well as at some of the area art shows. She's definitely one of those who has not yet grasped the "intraweb" thing, so she doesn't have a web page or anything. It makes me happy anytime I hear someone is interested in that type of pottery though.
To add: I'm traveling on the East Coast this week, but I will have to send you some pics of her stuff when I get home next week
