Deanna ONeill

Deanna O'Neill is an artist living in Andover, MA and working out of The Clay School in Lynn, MA. She has been practicing ceramics on and off for nearly 20 years. Deanna studied painting in undergrad but as part of a well-rounded curriculum took a few ceramics classes. It was during these classes that her love for pottery began. Pottery has allowed Deanna to explore form and function while incorporating stylistic motifs in each piece. She finds inspiration in the world around her but is especially inspired by nature. Her forms are soft and often curvaceous, feminine, and colorful. While her work is primarily functional, she strives to incorporate sculptural elements to each piece. Her most popular work is inspired by Russian nesting dolls. Each “doll” vase is botanic in nature and combines many surface techniques including but not limited to carving, mishima, water etching, and hand painting. In addition to pottery, Deanna enjoys watercolor painting and working on the occasional embroidery project.
