Georgina Lohan | Artist Biography
Georgina Lohan is a multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver, BC, primarily working in porcelain sculpture. Her diverse practice is built upon extensive exploration and experimentation with materials, leveraging a rich background that includes printmaking, carving, casting, hot glass, textiles, set & costume design, and jewelry in addition to painting, drawing, and functional ceramics.
Lohan is a graduate of Capilano College, (now Capilano University), where she completed studies in Studio Art and Advanced Printmaking. A self-taught ceramicist, she established her first clay studio in 2007. She has since exhibited widely, featuring solo shows at prominent Vancouver venues such as the Craft Council of BC’s Crafthouse Gallery and the Vancouver Museum.
Her work has garnered national and international recognition, featured in numerous curated and juried group exhibitions. These include a recognized presence at Il Museo in Vancouver, the Salt Spring Island Ceramic Awards, and international appearances at the prestigious Palazzo Ca Zanardi in Venice, Italy. These exhibitions highlight a deep technical expertise and active engagement within the contemporary sculpture and ceramic communities.
