About the Artist: Carmelita Nunez

Carmelita Nunez has been a working Artist for over twenty years. She started her fascination with clay while taking foundational classes at Forest Park Community College in St. Louis. Nunez focuses on form and illustration in her ceramics. She incorporates bright colors, and graphic marks based on the imagery that catches her eye throughout the day in nature, patterns, and also in dreamscapes. While her recent work has focused on decorative sculptures, Nunez is well-known for integrating her styles into functional ceramics such as serving ware and mugs. She prefers that her functional pieces be used every day and not saved for special occasions, so that all of her artwork becomes a part of people’s daily lives, environments, and stories.
