On Friday, November 10, NCI ARTworks will host an opening reception for the month-long exhibition of the exquisitely crafted ceramic art of internationally acclaimed ceramicist Lucia Matos at the NCI ARTworks Gallery from 6 to 9pm in the Westclox building in Peru.

I am a ceramic maker based in the Chicago area. I am originally from Brazil, but I have lived in the US for half of my life.

After having to cut short my orchestral conducting career because of hearing problems, I found clay and, with that, rediscovered my creative voice.

I am attracted to clean lines and organic textures, and I hope my pieces convey a sense of peace, equilibrium, and serenity.

Each piece is designed individually, but they work particularly well in groups, interacting as an ensemble.

You can follow my work through my Instagram account, and if you would like to collaborate on a project or have any questions, send me a message.
