Keira Peterson is a ceramic artist whose work is embodied by simple forms and minimal designs. Her process clears her mind with a meditative state of focus, resulting in pleasing work with calming subtle curves and soothing textures.

She graduated with an Associates degree of Visual Arts at Corning Community College where she was recognized with an Excellence in Art Award in 2012. She then continued her studies at SUNY New Paltz where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts and was awarded Outstanding Graduate in the Arts Department in 2014.

Inspired by the large community of extraordinary artists and the rich history of ceramic art in the area, she moved to Asheville in 2017 to continue her informal education. She was accepted into The Village Potters Independent Study and Mentorship program where she continued to expand her skills and style from 2017-2019. There, she subsequently became fascinated with making her own glazes as well as cultivating the modern designs she is known for today.

Presently, she can be found creating new work at the Second Story Potters in Riverview Station, teaching beginner wheel throwing classes at The Village Potters Clay Center, or setting up shop virtually at keiramariedesigns.com or at various craft shows around the country.
