Darcie studied ceramics at Buffalo State College where she focused on functional work. A piece of art that can be used every day! Darcie also has a fine arts degree from Niagara County Community College where she studied drawing and painting. Her love for drawing transfers over to her ceramic work, with the technique called sgraffito. A form of decoration made by scratching through the surface to reveal the lower layer of a contrasting color. All of her work is wheel thrown using porcelain clay. she then paints on an underglaze and carves away, to reveal the image she wants left behind.
These images all hold a lot of meaning to her, which can be simplified down into one word, duality.

​
making pottery
and art in general
is an expression
of myself
and my life
through my hands
​
my ideas and thoughts
expressed into these
clay pots
​
as art
is the only thing
that allows me
to fully express
my reality
i sometimes struggle
with the words
as i try to articulate
the inner workings
of my mind
i pick images
that help me express
these words
that i am searching for
​
the images i use
are all meaningful to me
as they are a tiny glimpse
into my reality
of the memories
that hold the most meaning
to me
