Robert King

Founder/Curator/Artist

(Chahta Okla, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) b. 1981 — The high desert terrain serves as both inspiration and supply chain for most of the work produced by Robert King. Robert, a physician and member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is a self-taught ceramic artist who continuously seeks new ways to express himself primarily utilizing the various natural resources found in the surrounding landscape. Respectfully collaborating with the wild clay, rocks, minerals, sand, and trees surrounding his Galisteo, NM, home and studio, he crafts ceramics that express the natural environment where these materials have rested for millennia.
