Biography
Casey Burton's upbringing took place on the South Side of Chicago. Her educational journey led her to achieve a master’s degree in ceramics from Penn State University. Prior to that, she obtained a bachelor’s degree in ceramics with a minor in psychology from the University of Iowa in 2019. Following her undergraduate studies, she furthered her exploration with clay at the University of Kansas as a post-baccalaureate student.
In 2020, Burton relocated to Northern California, where she was as an artist-in-residence at Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology Project for two years.
