Ceramic Artist Robert Milnes creates sculptures and vessels out of clay and other materials, notably copper. He grew up and studied in the US on the West Coast and has worked in higher education throughout the country, now residing in Asheville, NC. Artists’ concepts and palettes are tremendously influenced by their visual environment, and his studies in philosophy and travel and research in the US, China, Japan, Mexico, the Middle East, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Turkey and other sites have informed his thought and work.
