Regina Coeli Singer
(rey-jeen-ah chay-lee)
Regina is a multi-media artist living in Rochester, NY on unceded Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) land. They specialize in functional ceramic lighting and homewares with an emphasis on fluid organic forms and rich color palettes. Their work speaks to our more animalistic roots and raw emotions, and the processing of them through nature. With a background in interior design, screen-printing, and ecology, Regina makes work that feels artfully designed and primordial in nature.
Regina began her design career in Austin, TX, working at Britt Design Group in sustainable residential and commercial design. After three years in the architecture and design industry they transitioned to becoming a full-time artist under the name Salvaged Studio, releasing several large-scale mixed-media collections and handprinted works utilizing second-hand materials. She recently relocated to Rochester, NY where she is an artist in resident and pottery instructor at Wheel & Slab clay studio.
Born and raised between rural Western New York and the Gulf Coast of Mexico, Regina spent their formative years in two wildly contrasting landscapes - socially and ecologically - and considers this split experience to be a large factor in their appreciation for the land and our intrinsic connection with it. Land as a sense of home and self are frequent themes through their work, believing that we are stewards to the land through life and death.
A lifelong creative, Regina is deeply passionate about the sharing of knowledge through their local community. She strives to provide a warm, grounding experience while leading workshops and classes, and enjoys empowering others in their creative journey and beyond.
