New Orleans, LA
Peyton Pickenpaugh is a New Orleans-based artist whose work explores feminine identity, ancestral memory, and spiritual transformation through fiber, ceramics, and found objects. Raised in a potter's studio by a spiritual seeker and educator, she later earned a master's degree in history and spent over 15 years teaching before fully committing to her art practice. In 2023 she began incorporating heirlooms, natural materials, and deconstructed textiles into her ceramic practice in order to investigate suppressed histories and reimagine feminine archetypes.
Her process is deeply intuitive, guided by a reverence for myth, mediumship and the unseen narratives passed down through women's lives and lineages. By layering material, memory and meaning, she constructs work that are both haunting and hallowed. Peyton's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in San Francisco and New Orleans.
