Hello, my name is Merlinna, an emerging artist based in Nashua, NH. I study at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. I am from the Dominican Republic and currently work in ceramics, as well as mixed media. I originally went to college for fine art but after taking my first ceramics class, I ended up  switching majors to ceramic. I have a bachelor's degree in Ceramics and Fine Art,  with two minors degrees one in Art History and another  in Painting.

​

I have done a few internships and also worked as a pottery instructor for some studios throughout the years. I discovered that I enjoy the community of ceramics that brings people together to create  unique art. I hope that with my experience I can help create a community of potters that enjoy creating together.​​​​
