Artist's Information
Gary has been a professional ceramic artist for over twenty years; his work consists of both utilitarian, press-moulded dishes and plates, to vases and fantasy pitchers. He has dedicated himself to the limitless possibilities of hand-building, a method that allows him to best transform fine porcelain into intriguing fantastical pieces.
Purely decorative teapots are his current passion, portraying constant interplay between man, nature, and his surrounding environment. Gary’s work is often published; he has exhibited internationally and his work is part of many private and permanent corporate collections.
