About the Teapot
At first glance, this work looks like it was shaped by rivers, wind, and time. But in truth, each piece starts on the wheel, where I turn clay into quietly powerful art.
About the Artist
Gerald is a ceramic trompe l’oeil artist exploring the natural, weathered forms of river stones and driftwood. His inspiration comes from connections to the environment fostered while flyfishing in mountain streams throughout the western U.S. His work is collected internationally and is featured in both private and corporate collections.
Inspired by the smooth shapes of river stones and the natural cycles of the earth and erosion, he makes stoneware vessels, teapots, and sculptures that feel both ancient and modern. Each piece is wheel-thrown, shaped, and refined until the surface, balance, and proportions seem effortless.
The result is ceramic art that feels grounded, elemental, and deeply refined, pieces that invite you to touch, think about, and collect.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
