Lucy Dierks
Artist Statement "In 1997, when I took my first course in ceramics, I rediscovered my love for Asian Art and pottery. Japanese ikebana containers, Oribe dishes, and the Chinese ware of the Tang and Song Dynasties have been tremendous sources of inspiration and influence for me. My pieces express my delight with nature and like nature, I want them to reflect a harmony of form, surface, and purpose. I strive to make small intimate pieces whose design and texture invite you to hold them. There is something about birds that speaks to me. The contradictory aspects of their bodies intrigue me. I find the exquisite detail of their claws and the patterning of their feathers very satisfying. I perch them on my containers to encourage contemplation and conversation. Currently I work solely in porcelain and mix my own glazes. I am fascinated with creating surfaces that mimic nature such as lichen, stones, or tree bark. Many of my pieces are designed as flower containers and are intended to reflect and compliment the natural environment they inhabit."

Lucy graduated in 1971 at Mary Baldwin College and in 1975 at William and Mary College with degrees in Psychology and Learning Disabilities. In 1997 she studied ceramics at TCC and went on to Odyssey Clay Center in Ashvelle and Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. She has displayed her work in numerous exhibits and festivals up and down the east coast and has won numerous awards for her work. She presently resides in Norfolk, VA., and we couldn't be more excited to have her join our Gallery.
