Alina Cochran is a ceramic artist based in Pittsboro, North Carolina, known for her expressive clay sculptures inspired by nature and transposed in pieces with natural beauty and feminine forms. Originally from Romania, Alina’s passion for art was rekindled during the pandemic, leading her to explore clay sculpting as a means of self-expression and self-care.
Her signature series, “The Ladies – The Perfectly Imperfect Women,” features sculptures that embody delicate grace, vulnerability, and resilience. Each piece is named after a goddess, reflecting Alina’s admiration for their strength and beauty. For instance, “Phoenix” was created using the Kintsugi method after it exploded in the kiln, symbolizing rebirth and resilience, giving her a second chance to life and the first piece of the series “The Unbroken – The Ladies Series of Imperfectly Perfect Women”.
Beyond her artistic endeavors, Alina serves as a Community Manager, balancing her professional life with her creative passions. She is an active member of the Chatham Artists Guild, where her work is showcased alongside other local artists.
