Bio

Billy Bilbro has been working in clay for over 30 years. She holds an Associates in Applied Science in Clay Production from Haywood Community College Craft school, and a Master’s Certificate from Hood College. She has been a resident artist at Odyssey Center in Asheville, NC and Baltimore Clayworks in Baltimore, Maryland. “I strive to allow my work to grow and change as I do, creating bodies of work that are reflective of the time and space that I inhabit.” Billy currently lives and works in Madrid, NM where she has daily conversations with the crows. She plays, creates, and meanders through the desert as much as she can. Her current body of work has expanded to include sculpture, experimental films, installations, and performance in addition to functional work.
