In the Gallery: Planting Anemone

We welcome Chloe Theodosiou to our gallery for this breathtaking exhibition of ceramic sculptures. 
Chloe Theodosiou is a ceramic artist whose practice focuses on where material experiments meet emotional articulation. Originally from New York, Theodosiou graduated with her BFA from Alfred University and worked as a teaching, assisting, and exhibiting artist in NYC for four years before moving to Phoenixville, PA. She has been living in Pennsylvania since 2020 working with local art spaces and non-profits to provide affordable, high-quality art education. She is motivated by community and humanity in the arts with an intense passion for all things clay. A natural extrovert, Theodosiou is always ready to sit and talk about the intellectual, emotional, and philosophical nuances in artwork and making.
