June 17 - July 14

An Arkansas native and former ceramics student of the UALR Art Department, now the UA Little Rock School of Art and Design, Ginny received her MFA in Ceramics at the University of Minnesota in 2012. She apprenticed with potter Mike Dodd in Somerset, England, and worked at potteries in Centola, Italy, and the Isle of Iona, Scotland. She is a recipient of the Patricia Tillberg Hasselmo Fellowship from the University of Minnesota and the Jerome Foundation Study and Travel Grant from the Jerome Foundation, among other awards. Her work has been displayed in the United States and internationally. In 2023, Ofr. Paris published “Un Vie de Terre,” an artist’s book of her work spanning over 10 years.
Sims creates functional ceramics and ceramic sculptures that are whimsical and visually informed by 18th-century ceramic surface designs and motifs. She creates functional and sculptural objects that are highly narrative.
