LARRY PELTER
BIOGRAPHY
I grew up in Newman Grove, a farming community on the banks of the Shell Creek in north central Nebraska. I have had a diverse upbringing experiencing, at times, life as a sheepherder, cowboy, railroad gandy dancer, truck driver, anti-submarine warfare specialist, electrical engineer, barista, and Zen practitioner. Throughout my life, I have maintained a passion for the arts, having studied classical and blues guitar, painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking and ceramic art with a variety of teachers.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My current work is an exploration of pottery forms , masks and sculptural pieces related to aboriginal and indigenous peoples as well as early Neolithic European cave art. I like this work for its purity of form and connections to the earth.
