TOM CANNON ART

Tom's vessels are a reflection of his years living in Japan, the inspiration and influences he experienced from the Eastern cultures, and his teachers in this country.

Tom's artistic career began over 30 years ago when he moved to Japan and studied ceramics under master potter, Yasuteru Miura. When Tom moved back to the United States, he built his own kiln and started producing a range of Asian inspired ceramics. After years of being influenced by Asian art and aesthetics, Tom's ceramic masterpieces evolved naturally into exquisite bronze art. 

In ancient China, bronze vessels were used as a means to contact ancestors for guidance and to channel prayers to the divine.  The person who owned a bronze vessel was seen by others as powerful in both spiritual and political realms.
