Rich Lopez

Rich is a native Californian who currently resides in Beaumont, CA where he works in his studio creating art. The clay creations Rich Lopez produces represents a long journey he soulfully embraces.

 

His clay art has many shapes and directions. His ability to use the visions of his heart makes his art unique and spiritual. His soul goes into everything he creates.  Rich’s unique ability to reproduce native baskets on the potter’s wheel is truly amazing.

 Tony Soarez

 Encouraged by his grandmother and inspired by prehistoric artifacts he found while exploring the desert, Tony Soares of Joshua Tree pursued and mastered the lost art of native pottery-making.

 

He gathers, grinds, and mixes his own clays, builds the pots in the traditional way, and decorates them with traditional motifs.

 Kata Polano:  "To find harmony between life and the spaces we occupy. To live sustainably and lightly upon our Earth. To bring art into our everyday lives. To reconnect with Nature. To empower ourselves to succeed. To dream big and live our dreams. These are the ways of life that I dedicate myself to.
