Elisa D’Arrigo cultivated an early love for art through a DIY approach that led her to a BFA in Ceramics from SUNY New Paltz in 1975. Her diverse craft has spanned drawing, ceramics, hand-stitching, paper, and fabric, eventually returning to clay, her primary medium today. D’Arrigo’s hand-built sculptures convey a sense of life and individuality, with contorted, anthropomorphic forms that express vulnerability and humor. She embraces an improvisational glazing technique, likening it to a “birthing stage,” which enhances the vitality and organic feel of each piece.
