Anatomical studies and how mental states can affect the body are the subjects of ceramic artist Amiee Risby, one of two recipients of the Port Moody Arts Centre’s Kwi Am Choi Scholarship for 2019.

For her debut solo show, which opens with a reception Thursday at the St. Johns Street gallery, the fourth-year Kwantlen Polytechnic University undergraduate has 10 pieces on display.

Risby is also active in the arts scene: She has membership in the Guild of BC Ceramics, the Kwantlen Art Collective and the Fraser Valley Potters Guild.

As well, Risby is the second student of Ying-Yueh Chuang, Kwantlen’s chair of fine arts and a ceramic instructor, to have received the Kwi Am Choi award.

The PMAC show ends Aug. 15.
