Artist- Natalie Gillihan :: Studio- Lake Quinsigamond Pottery
Natalie Gillihan lives on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Massachusetts. Originally from Indiana where she received a B.A. in Ceramics from Ball State University, Natalie also spent time living in Chicago and studying art at Northern Illinois University. It was as an undergraduate at Ball State that the she began keeping a visual file of favorite images, including line drawings from ancient folk cultures. It took several years for these ideas and images to find their way into the artist's work. Natalie now creates handmade ceramic pendants with designs inspired by the arts of different cultures throughout the world, adapting the images to fit her vision. These images focus on birds and other animals, the human figure, and mythological stories. Each piece is designed and created exclusively by the artist's hand, and bears the artist's signature stamp and that of Lake Quinsigamond Pottery (LQP) on the back. A small info card accompanies each pendant to give the charm's new owner a sense of the history and meaning contained in that small and unique piece of wearable art.
