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.
Over 30 years of
experience creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces! |
