Biography:
Bernadette Stillo Rieser (American, 1961 - 2015)
The Pennsylvania ceramic artist graduated from Phillipsburg Catholic High School and Kutztown University before settling in Philadelphia where she was a clay artist and teacher. Her works of art were exhibited in galleries and juried shows throughout the country. She worked as a professional full time ceramic artist since 1988, developing a large range of decorative objects as well as one-of-a-kind sculptural teapots, clay vessels and wall hangings.
All pieces produced by Bernadette Stillo are either one-of-a-kind, or limited editions and carry its own vision and statement. “To me, making Art is more than just looking. It is inviting the viewer the opportunity to touch, to play, to ponder, to believe that there is something more. In my whole life as a working artist, I have always wanted my art to affect people in a positive way…. To speak words my voice cannot. If I can help someone to laugh, or to see the world in a different light; to see within themselves something deeper and more meaningful, then I have succeeded as an artist.”
Bernadette’s work is hand built terracotta or stoneware clay. They are glazed with handmade “art” glazes, (glazes that have unique colors, qualities, and textures), and heavily textured with either handmade or found objects. They may also be embellished with semi precious stones and glass beads, as well as highlights of acrylic paint, copper wire, and found objects.
