Clay sculptor, Marla Ziegler, is a respected and well known artist. Her unique shapes, glazes and creativity have brought her to the forefront of the clay community internationally. Her work has been featured and critiqued in local, national and international publications. With her upcoming Museum Retrospective Exhibition scheduled for 2014, Ziegler comments about this particular body of work saying, "I revisited more than three decades of work in creating this exhibition. Reflecting on former concepts and techniques has inspired many of the pieces in the show." Those familiar with Ziegler's work will understand and recognize shapes and forms from past exhibitions and installations. Ziegler works with low fire clay. She rolls the clay into slabs and presses them into a variety of shapes and forms. Her use of mixed media such as graphite, color pencil, wax and decal transfers identify her work as being unique, unusual and easily recognizable. Ziegler is Professor of Art and Art History, Brookhaven College, DCCCD, Dallas. She has served on many boards and contributed to the art community in abundance over the last 25 years. Not only is Ziegler a gifted artist but she has also devoted her life to art and in particular art in the North Texas region.
