Charles Breth

 Charles is a Canadian who lives in British Columbia but spends a great deal of time in the US. He has an MA in sculpture from The University of California—Berkeley and an MFA from Ohio State University. He has taught at several American and Canadian universities and has had exhibits of his work in many different western cities.

          Charles works in a variety of styles and mediums; he tends to focus mainly on figurative ceramic sculptures, but when he was on the Roswell grant, he produced a number of what he called “Lyric Drawings”, mostly done in colored pencil on paper. These abstractions are “random, graphic thoughts, like improvisations, similar to music.”  He is deeply influenced by pre-Columbian and Native American art.
