Breana Ferreira (she/her) was born and raised in Southern California and received her BFA in Ceramics in the Spring of 2022 from the University of North Texas. Her process integrates traditional ceramic practices with the two-dimensional arts to develop visual narrative in direct dialogue with functional form.
Since graduating, Breana has worked as an educator and resident artist in association with the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Southern California, the Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago, and most recently Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Tennessee.
Artist Bio
Breana’s practice fixates on crafting ceramics as active participants in routine and ritual, as conduits for introspection, and as vessels for personal and cultural narrative. Her work reflects on delight and doubt through celebratory practices of adornment and comforting acts of self-preservation.
More often than not, she embraces maximalist tendencies indulging in rich layers of texture, color, and imagery as she explores the boundaries between function and sculpture.
