Introducing Lucrecia Waggoner

 

We are thrilled to introduce Lucrecia Waggoner, a remarkable artist whose porcelain works have recently arrived at our gallery. Waggoner’s work is a testament to the profound connection between personal growth and artistic enrichment. Her pieces, inspired by nature and her life’s journey, are visual representations of her continuous quest for growth. With a minimalist approach, her work balances simplicity with expressive depth, reflecting her vibrant personality and rich cultural background.

Lucrecia Waggoner was born and raised in Mexico City, where her artistic talent was nurtured from a young age. Beginning her ceramic training at the National Anthropological Museum at just seven years old, she later honed her skills at the Parsons School of Design and through courses in Mexico City, Cannes, France, Germany, and Hong Kong. These experiences imbued her with a love for simplicity and Eastern aesthetics, which are evident in her current works.

Waggoner’s journey is marked by passion and adaptability. After moving to Houston, Texas, in 1998 and then to Dallas, where she studied at the Meadows School of the Arts at SMU, she continued to grow both personally and artistically while raising her family. Her 45-year career has been defined by meticulous craftsmanship and meditative creation processes.

Waggoner’s art has been showcased at numerous international art fairs, including Context, Art Miami, and the 4th Biennale of Ceramics CDMX, and is featured in both private and public collections worldwide.

Each piece starts with a single idea, carefully considered within the context of its intended space. Using the finest white porcelain, and sometimes incorporating 22k gold, palladium, platinum, silver, and metal alloys, Waggoner’s work embodies abstract interpretations of nature and concepts such as joy, peace, and harmony.
