Information provided by the Artist: My ceramics life began with a challenge from my students in a university beginning biology class—50 years ago. Since then, there have been brief detours in working with clay, including forays into weaving, enameling, and acrylic painting—magical media each in their own right. But the siren call of ceramics prevailed, always informed and inspired by exciting visual experiences. Travel was the crucial component with Asia as the locus for some forty years and the decorative arts and architecture of Eastern cultures providing the aesthetic vocabulary. Lee Kavaljian's work is represented in the Crocker's permanent collection.
