Jill Birschbach is the president of the Midwest Clay Guild and a working artist living in Evanston. She has a show at the Evanston Art Center, with an opening reception Feb 5, 1-4 p.m. The show (up thru March 4) features pieces from her Small Monuments Series, a collection of ceramics with photos from Birschbach’s personal collection. They capture the people and atmosphere of her childhood stomping grounds and when combined with ceramics, she explains, further immortalize lifetime memories.
Jill Birschbach’s work explores ideas about time, memory and loss. She originally used photographic images to convey these themes and more recently has been creating ceramic sculpture. With her discovery of ceramic photographic decals she was able to bring together her two interests.
Jill graduated with a BFA from UW-Oshkosh in 1992, and has an MFA in photography from the University of Nebraska. She exhibits her work nationally and has been included in shows at AKAR Gallery in Iowa City, The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Baltimore Clayworks, Bradley University, Lillstreet Art Center, and Texas Tech University among others (www.jillbirschbach.com). She is a research editor for Getty Images in Chicago and has her studio at the Midwest Clay Guild in Evanston, IL (midwestclayguild.org).

The Lisa D Show is a podcast celebrates creatives. Listen to 20 minute, unedited conversations with host Lisa D. and the creatives who make our world a more connected, interesting and beautiful place to live. Podcasts will be posted on this blog and on Soundcloud.com
This podcast is recorded at 1100 Florence, an art event space in West Evanston, IL, owned and operated by Lisa Degliantoni and Dave Ford. It is a former Polish Grocery store, probably not the BEST place to record a podcast (boomy to say the least) but we're new and it will get better. Reach out to thelisadshow[at]gmail.com
