Bianca Turner is a ceramic artist pursuing her MFA at the University of Missouri. She holds a BFA in Ceramics from the University of Hartford and previously completed a long-term residency at the Worcester Center for Crafts. Influenced by her Jamaican heritage, Bianca explores the relationship between the human body, emotion, and identity through abstract ceramic forms. Using hand-building techniques, she creates textured, organic sculptures that embody strength, vulnerability, and transformation. Her work engages color and surface as psychological and emotional tools, inviting personal reflection. Bianca’s work has been exhibited nationally, and she is a recipient of the NCECA Multicultural Fellowship and the Artaxis Fellowship.
