Biography

As a lifelong artist, Fig T is always looking at the world with a new lens. Vivid dreams, wild imagination, and a love for photography and ceramics ignited her pursuit in adolescence.  Her figurative sculptures were published in Ceramics Monthly and Ceramics Ireland magazines and exhibited in galleries in midwestern and eastern US.   She earned a BFA in Ceramics in 2008 and spent an additional year working towards an MFA in Ceramics, but ultimately decided to end the pursuit. She welcomed children into the world in 2009 and 2011 and earned a BSN to begin working as a Registered Nurse in 2017.  While she found small slices of life she could carve out for creativity, it wasn't enough. In 2018 she began dating her current husband and, through their mutual love of creativity and exploration, she started creating again. They married in February of 2022 and Fig T started making art full time in November 2022. They live together in the country and cherish their combined seven children, five cats, and one dog. 

Her approach and output are constantly evolving as she hones her skills and personal style.  Figuratively Thinking (or Fig T) is an artist's moniker. It hints at the way she experiences her own mind and the world around her: analyzing, daydreaming, worrying, imagining, ruminating, pattern-finding, intrusive-thought bombing, and experimenting.  Vivid dreams have plagued the artist her entire life and her mornings are often spent in a fog as she tries to pick apart dream from reality.  Her artistic style would best be described as 'eclectic' as she often switches media and moods from one project to another.  Current works are made through a mixture of processes and outputs: acrylic painting, watercolor, charcoal drawing, digital art, AI generated art and NFT art.
