BIO

Carlie Antes is a native Nebraskan, currently residing in Syracuse, NE with her husband and three children. In 2023, Antes was appointed as Assistant Professor of Practice and 3D Foundations Coordinator at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It is there that she received both her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics (2020) and Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture (2023).

 

Her work explores complex interpersonal relationships set alongside human inventions—utilizing the physical matter of her lived experiences as visual placeholders for people, places, memories, and emotions. With her work and process deeply rooted in handcraft, Antes has taught a number of workshops that incorporate hand-weaving techniques using wire as the primary medium.   

​

Carlie has received the Francis William Vreeland Scholarship Award (2017), is a two-time recipient of Jean R. Faulkner Memorial Art Exhibition Awards (2017, 2020), and was granted the 2020 and 2023 Dan & Barbara Howard Creative Achievement Awards.
