About
Although Aimee calls the Southwest desert her home, she has traversed the globe in search of artistic inspiration. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Florida and Arizona State University and completed undergraduate coursework in ceramics at Arizona State University. As a ceramic production manager for over 5 years, she is proficient in industrial slip casting, design software, digital fabrication tools, and studio management. Most recently, Aimee has been teaching fine art courses in higher education and developing community engagement strategies in the arts. Before her graduate studies and teaching career, she managed the ceramic bell production facility at Arcosanti in Arizona's high desert. Aimee’s experiences living in Arcosanti’s experimental city have led her to investigate the human connection with nature, lighting, and immersive environments. The conceptual framework within her work focuses on impressionable moments in the natural world during her travels. She is currently the ceramic resident artist at Midwestern State University in Texas.
Aimee has been recognized with numerous teaching awards as well as prestigious assistantships, gaining the opportunity to work with world-renowned artists. She has contributed to artist talks, demonstrations, internships, and residencies at art centers around the world, including Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology, The Pottery Workshop of Jingdezhen, China, Penland School of Craft, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Anderson Ranch Art Center, and The Phoenix Art Museum. Aimee's work has been prominently featured in numerous national exhibitions. When not in the studio, Aimee tends to her urban farm, delivers nature conservation strategies to youth, or investigates flora in outdoor experiences.
