Ceramicist Lee Segal is known for his use of bold colors, geometric shapes and rich patinas. Newport, Rhode Island is the muse for much of his current work: he finds inspiration in the merchant ships, rose gardens, architecture, sea and sunsets. This exhibition of new work includes familiar Segal forms and vessels as well as more sculptural work characterized by hard-edged, linear, abstract forms. Originally from California, Segal settled in Rhode Island in 1990. He owns and operates "All Fired Up Pottery," a studio/gallery in Newport, with his partner Irene Parthenis.
