Ana Jofre

Charlotte, NC

Ana Jofre is a self-taught artist who has been handbuilding ceramic sculptures and making artful crockery since 1995, and over the past few years, her work has spanned several sculpting media. Ana is compelled by form, ranging from abstract geometry to the human form, seeking to explore elements of aesthetic truths. She also produces conceptually driven works inspired by a range of interests and influences. Born to refugees in Lima in 1976, Ana grew up in Canada, and lived in Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto before her nomadic restlessness led her South through Washington DC and into North Carolina, where she currently teaches physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and does research in Biophysics, where she verifies small elements of empirical truths.
