JURORS:
Lee Somers
Lee Somers hails from the Southwest; his formative years spent exploring the mountains and deserts. A traveler, Lee draws inspiration from experiences living, working, and wandering in a variety of locations. Fascinated with ceramics since childhood, he earned both his undergraduate and graduate degree in the field at Alfred University School of Art and Design. Lee has been teaching college level art since 2006, including three years in Beijing at the China Central Academy of Fine Art. He currently teaches 3D Design at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama. His work in ceramics and mixed-media investigates the landscape as an intersection of natural and cultural history. Lee’s studio practice incorporates a variety of materials and processes, with experimentation and chance playing an active role. Most recently, his work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Jane Hartsook Gallery, Greenwich House Pottery, NY, and in the annual Art in Craft Media exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, NY.
