Monarch Gallery Artist - Phil Walker
Sculpture and Ceramics
My interest in sculpture began with a class in mask making. A workshop in Mexico, making and firing, started me on my journey to create art. This exposure to the work of artists 3-4 centuries old was an introduction to ancient cultures in this hemisphere. I was blessed with two mentors in sculpture: Anthony Davenport at Ohio University, Lancaster, Ohio; and the Mexican teacher who exposed me to the ancient civilization of Oaxaca, Mexico.
To create and sculpt the objects and ideas of our everyday world using shapes, textures, and hues continues to inspire my art. Stoneware art has survived for centuries.
