Gleidymar (Glay-dee-mar) is a ceramic artist based in central Connecticut. She makes functional work that blends modern forms with botanical imagery. Her journey with clay began during her undergraduate studies at Wheelock College, where she majored in Communications and Studio Arts. Since graduating, she has worked as a ceramics instructor and studio manager.

She enjoys exploring underglaze and surface application on both wheel thrown and handbuilt forms. Over time, her practice has developed into a way of exploring themes of home and heritage. Much of her inspiration comes from her Puerto Rican heritage, which she celebrates through pieces that are meant to be used, shared, and lived with.
