About the Maker

Nadia Stieglitz

Nadia Stieglitz embarked on her journey as a ceramic sculptor in an unexpected way. In June 2021, she showcased her work at a pop-up exhibit at the boutique high-end hotel, The Drewberry, in Charleston, SC. Despite having only taken a few pottery classes in 2019, the overwhelmingly positive response to her sculptures ignited her artistic ambitions and propelled her toward further art events and opportunities.
In 2022, Stieglitz's dedication and talent were recognized when she was named the Emerging Artist of Artisphere, a highly-regarded art festival in Greenville, SC. She was also selected for Artfields, a respected art competition and festival in South Carolina created by
financier and philanthropist Darla Moore, in both 2022 and 2023, further cementing her reputation as a rising artist.
