Jean Maddox is a ceramicist from Seattle, Washington now residing in Atlanta, Georgia. Jean has been working with clay since 2012 and is drawn to the medium’s temperament and its history across cultures. Jean’s work has centered on wheel-thrown forms – experimenting with textural techniques and surface design.

After a period away from both ceramics and illustration, Jean’s work reflects a renewed engagement with identity, culture, and personal growth. She aims to balance respect for heritage with artistic autonomy. Jean often incorporates shapes or design elements that nod to Chinese ceramics while creating space for her own evolving style to emerge.
