Eleanor Foy is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, the landscape and mythology of California and the American West continue to inform her work. After studying painting for three years at Pratt Institute in New York, Foy transferred to Kansas City Art Institute to complete her BFA (Ceramics, 2021). This change in focus was compelled by a desire to work in a medium that spans fine art, craft, and mass-production. Foy has exhibited nationally and has received numerous awards, including the Regina Brown Undergraduate Student Fellowship through the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) and the Warren MacKenzie Advancement Award through the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Foy holds an MFA (Ceramics, 2025) from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens.
