Laurie Caffery
Laurie Caffery is a ceramic artist and illustrator. She grew up in Boone, North Carolina, a small town surrounded by the peaks and valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Encouraged by my creative parents, she spent her childhood enthusiastically exploring different mediums, primarily painting and drawing.
Laurie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in ceramics from Appalachian State University in 2014. Since then, she has continued to embrace every opportunity to progress her craft.
Her artwork is exhibited and collected nationally and internationally. Laurie creates her narrative-driven, decorative ceramics from her studio in Asheville, North Carolina. When she isn’t making art, she’s probably spending time outside with her husband, son, and dogs.
