Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Lisa Agababian

Lisa Agababian, born and raised in New York City, is mostly a self-taught ceramic artist currently creating purposeful art in Tucson, AZ.Although Agababian’s journey with clay was shelved for several years as she gained her formal education in mathematics & computer science, she managed to get back to her passion when she moved to Tucson in 1989.Agababian creates unique, one-of-a-kind, ceramic heart wall sculptures.All of her hearts are designed, hand-built, and painted with low fire colorful glazes, crystal glazes, under-glazes, metallic/luster overgrazes, and anything else she can embellish a piece with to add to the depth, beauty, and uniqueness desiring to be expressed.Low fire earthenware clay is Agababian’s favorite medium to work with, because, as the artist says, clay not only feels good, but it is a most friendly and forgiving medium to work with before the first firing.Her work is wonderfully three dimensional, her added flair highlighting depth and detail to her vibrant hearts.
