Dulcie Belanger

Dulcie Belanger is a sculptural ceramic artist based in Montana, whose work is deeply rooted in her connection to nature, her community, and her lived experiences as a woman and mother. Growing up in Western Oregon, Dulcie developed a profound respect for the natural world, which continues to shape her artistic practice. Her work explores themes of identity, interdependence, and storytelling, addressing the delicate balance between humanity’s reverence for and dominance over the environment and cultures.
