Hollie Lyko grew up northwest of Philadelphia in the small suburb of Hatfield, Pennsylvania. She earned her MFA in Studio Art from Syracuse University and her BFA in Ceramics from the University of Hartford. Hollie is influenced by the spaces she encountered as a child, both domestic and public. Her studio practice manifests itself from the curio cabinet holding porcelain treasures to the souvenir of a tourist attraction gift shop. She exhibits her work nationally, most recently at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia, PA and with Ferrin Contemporary in North Adams, MA. Collections include the Fuller Craft Museum and numerous private collections. Hollie lives in Glen Mills, PA with her husband and young son. She is a Faculty member at Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware where she teaches Ceramics, Drawing and Design. |
