Debra Giller

In her organic abstractions, ceramic sculptor Debra Giller creates shapes that are primarily derived from floral anatomy and atomic models--recreated in joyful abandon. Vivid color combinations in the glazes accentuate the elaborate concoctions.

Giller has a studio at Vernon Street Studios in Somerville, and has had a residency at Fonden Svanekegarden on the island of Bornholm, Denmark.

She holds an MA from Austin State University and an MFA from Kent State University. Giller has taught ceramics at the Brookline Adult Education Center and at Newton's Jewish Community Center. She currently teaches at Endicott College in Beverly. MA and Arlington Center for the Arts in Arlington, MA. She is also a member of the South Shore Arts Center in Cohasset, MA.
