About
Aimee Marcinko is a ceramic artist and educator focused on altering wheel-thrown ceramics to fabricate biomorphic forms. Combining light, sensors, and translucent porcelain, she intricately designs complex surfaces on sculptures and functional vessels. Her installation works encourage interaction to generate illuminated ceramic forms and hidden patterns.
Aimee holds an MFA in Ceramics from the University of Florida, where she was honored with the College of Art Teaching Fellowship and nominated for the Graduate Student Teaching Award. Prior to this, she completed an MA in Art Education from Arizona State University, supported by a merit-based scholarship, and conducted research on youth leadership through collaborative tile mosaic murals.
