Doug Casebeer has directed the Ceramics and Sculpture programs at Anderson Ranch Arts Center for 24 years. Throughout his esteemed career, he has worked and taught internationally including stints in Germany, Chile, Nepal, Italy, Jamaica and Brazil. Doug holds an MFA from Alfred University. His work is held in major US and international collections. 'My work looks at issues that honor the spirit of human existence," Casebeer says. "Within my artwork I search for meaning in the relationships between the ideas of storage, shelter, and nourishment. My artwork is influenced by rural archetypal forms of the western landscape and by many years of experiencing different global cultures. I look for beauty, balance and grace in my artwork. Through my artwork I try to come to an understanding of myself and the world around me."
