About the Artist:

Jeff Whyman is a south Florida based multi-disciplinary artist working in ceramics, steel sculpture, and oil painting. Born in St. Louis in 1953, he studied ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute and has been exhibiting his work since 1976.
He fell under the influence of his prolific teachers and of Peter Voulkos, an artist known for abstract expressionist ceramic sculptures. He and Voulkos had in common their first art expression being painting, their discovery of a feeling for clay, and their move to metal sculpture as a means to larger scale. It was Voulkos who urged Whyman to return to clay after years of concentrating on steel.Whyman’s south Florida based home studio houses hundreds of ceramic works, with more being created each day. This consistent act of creation by the artist is a calling. Meditative in nature, Whyman creates what the clay inspires.Whyman has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows around the United States, and has work in many public and private collections. He attended the University of California, Berkeley for his M.A. and M.F.A., after attending Kansas City Art Institute for his B.F.A. Whyman has also participated in dozens of residencies and workshops both as instructor and participant.
