Rinn is a queer artist who elevates social justice, body positive, body autonomy, LGBTQIA+, and breaks down gender constructs in their work with word play and sass. 
Rinn Boettcher of Cheeky Ceramics grew up in Appleton Wisconsin always finding different ways to create. They went to Stevens Point for their Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in Painting and Print making Their work was mainly based on the female form and expressing its movements and curvature through color and texture at a large scale. After completing her degree, they moved back to Appleton continuing to paint and explore mixed medias such as house paint, spray paint, wood surfaces, and collage.
Rinn was The Studio Manager at The Fire Art Studio a DIY shop where you can paint pottery, fuse glass, or create a mosaic. It is here that they discovered her love of painting pottery, working with different painting techniques and tools, and bringing their drawings to a new type of surface, and a functional surface! Rinn uses vibrant colors and patterns to bring their portraits to life. They've always up for sassy sayings, coffee references, and really has never met a pun they didn't like. They also use a series of silk screens in some of their work.
