Carly Riegger is from Ann Arbor, Michigan where she took a strong interest in ceramics in high school. She went on to pursue a BFA in Studio Art, specialising in Ceramics at the Bowling Green State University. In 2018, she travelled abroad to Florence, Italy and studied for a semester at the Studio Arts International College. This experience greatly enhanced her artistic skills. During her time abroad, Carly was awarded the Jules Maidoff Award in 2018. It was then she decided to pursue her idea of ceramic dolls to express her chronic back pain. In her final BFA Thesis Exhibition at BGSU in March of 2020, she depicted her illness in small scenes using her ceramic dolls. She received the James W. Strong Outstanding Senior Award for her service and participation in BGSU’s School of Art. She is dedicated to continuing her work advocating for those with disabilities as she moves forward in her ceramic art. She will continue her work at Indiana University Southeast in their Post-Bacc Program in 2020.
