Debbie Quick is an artist and educator whose work explores materiality, memory, and the ways objects carry presence. She earned her B.F.A. from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University and her M.F.A. from the School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Since 1999, Quick has taught in a wide range of settings, from K–12 classrooms to university studios and community programs.

She is also the founder of Clay Ground, a Richmond-based community ceramics studio established in 2020 that continues to grow as a hub for artistic learning and exchange.

Quick’s practice has been supported by numerous residencies and fellowships, including Soaring Gardens, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) Artist Residency, the Studios at MASS MoCA, Monson Arts, and the 2021 Fiskars Residency.
