Dixie Biggs | Gainesville, Florida
Being There, 2026
5.7 x 15.24 x 15.24 cm | 2.25 x 6 x 6 inches
Holding space can mean being fully present for someone, whether it’s connecting with a friend who is going through a hard time or sitting with an aging parent. Often the most supportive, compassionate environment we can provide is simply “Being There”.
Dixie Biggs is a full-time studio woodturner and artist who has been working from her Gainesville, Florida studio since 1989. Her interest in woodturning began in 1979 when she taught herself to use a wood lathe to duplicate a chess set made by her grandfather. Drawing on her biological background and a love of gardening, much of her work incorporates a botanical theme. Dixie is best known for her meticulously carved “leaf wrapped” vessels. Her pieces are included in many public and private collections worldwide. Dixie continues to share her techniques and knowledge by demonstrating and teaching at various woodturning clubs, symposia, and craft schools around the country.
