Bio

Andi Fasimpaur is a Dayton, Ohio ceramic artist, focusing on the creation of miniature works of art and the continuing relationship those works have with their creator and audience.

Andi attended Wright State University and received a BA in art with extensive coursework in art history. Her interest in art and its past and present context grew out of her extensive international travels as a military dependant. Her early works spanned a variety of media including photography, drawing, printmaking, sculpting and metalworking.

Andi became interested in jewelry as a form of artistic expression because of the inherent intimacy of small scale work. She finds that a pendant invites the viewer to come closer, to turn it in their hands, and to explore it in a way that larger scale pieces might not. Her interest in decorative surfaces and finishes encourages her to explore innovative techniques such as pit firing in order to achieve fresh and varied effects.
