Summary

Nicole Curcio is a ceramic artist living in Portland, Oregon but moving to Portugal this year. She discovered ceramics in 1994, in a high school class, and it was love at first clay. Over the years her work has shifted from painted, abstract cityscapes, to a more sculptural and botanical style. She enjoys combining functional wheel thrown wares, with ornate sculptural adornments. Her love of plants and growing things has inspired her current body of work, although her obsession with plants and planters can be traced back to her college sketchbooks. The work is always evolving but the pots she makes are decorative and very, very functional.
