NADIA STIEGLITZ BIOGRAPHY
Nadia Stieglitz is a French-born ceramicist based in Charleston, South Carolina, specializing in organic abstract sculpture. She was raised in the Alps and lived in London and Brooklyn before settling in Charleston in 2016. She graduated from Grenoble University in 1987. Stieglitz has trained with UK-based artists James Oughtibrige and Rebecca Appleby at The Studio Lounge in Holmfirth. She has participated in a three-year summer residency at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Aspen, CO, where she honed her craft under the guidance of sculptors Del Harrow and Ebitenyefa Baralaye. Stieglitz is also trained in painting, photography, and graphic design.
Her intuitive building process, using slabs and coils to construct her pieces and found objects such as rocks and custom-made clay forms, helps create an earthy feel for each object, distinguishing her artistic style. By allowing her work to be guided by intuition, each one of her pieces is unique.
In 2021, Nadia became a full-time resident at The Studio Union in North Charleston. She was invited by The Bibelot Home to show her work in her first public exhibit at Charleston’s Dewberry Hotel. In 2022, Stieglitz participated in a residence at the Gibbes Museum in Charleston, SC.
Stieglitz’s artistic achievements also include being selected for the online exhibition & “Biosphere,” as well as participating in the “South Carolina Festival of Flowers Juried Art Show” at The Arts Center of Greenwood in Greenwood, SC. Additionally, she had the opportunity to present her work in “Show and Tell Art Show” in Charleston, SC.
Publications such as Charleston Magazine, Luxe Magazine, Art Seen, and Canvas Rebel have profiled her work, recognizing its unique blend of abstract form and organic aesthetic. In December 2022, she showcased her work as a finalist in a pop-up gallery during Art Basel, Miami.
In 2023, she had a solo art installation, “Oceanic Drifts: Sculptures from Ashore,” at the Gibbes Museum for a two-month showcase. In early 2024, she participated in Southeast Contemporary, a distinguished annual group exhibition at The Museum of Arts and Sciences of Macon, Georgia, showcasing four influential contemporary artists from the Southeast.
