My name is Becky Ziemer and I am the artist, brand manager, secretary, groundskeeper and cat wrangler behind Becky Zee. As a child I had many different interests and enjoyed all forms of artistic expression, but none of them captured my heart like clay. Deep down, I've always known that I would become a clay artist, but I did not initially choose to follow that path. After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1998 with a degree in graphic design, I got married and found work in a print shop in Memphis, Tennessee. Over the years that followed, I was a graphic designer by day and an enthusiastic clay nerd by night. I gradually built my ceramics studio in my basement and sharpened my technical skills until finally, in 2015, I switched careers to become a full time ceramics artist.

​

Today, you will most likely find me in my basement studio in midtown, Memphis, either creating new critters or building stories around some of my favorites. To get a peek at what’s coming next, follow me on Facebook  @seriouslysillystuff or Instagram @BeckyZee38104.
