TALLIS RAYE ART & CERAMICS
To begin, I was born to two very creative parents. A writer and an artist. My creative upbringing led me to choose an artist path through college. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2017 with a BFA in Studio Art with a focus on printmaking and installation art. After college, while trying to find my footing in the “real world”, I needed something I could do in my apartment with little to no equipment. After finding a local pottery supply store that had community kilns, I started hand building cups and clay pieces in my apartment. The art form stuck. It combined print making and an element of 3D that I was missing. Now, roughly nine years later, I am still creating ceramics and improving on my art.
