Kimberly
Anderson bio I earned a BA with an emphasis in ceramics at the University
of California in Pennsylvania. At West Virginia University I earned a BFA in
ceramics working with Bob Anderson and began to develop a more mature style of
wheel thrown and altered vessels based on the female figure. The thrown and
altered figural elements complemented my interest in hand built organic
sculptural forms. I received my MFA Degree at
Wichita State University in 1994 where I studied ceramics under Rick St. John.
At Wichita my work moved to large scale figurative sculpture. I became enamored
by the areas landscape and incorporated aspects of the land with the organic
and figural references. After completing my degree in 1994
I returned to Pennsylvania where I bought a small electric kiln set up a studio
and started to make my own work. I was unsatisfied with the limitations of
electric firing so I built a primitive updraft wood kiln to get more appealing
effects. In 1995 I relocated to Indiana and
began teaching at the Indianapolis Art Center where I have taught for 11 years.
In 1998 I remodeled and converted a freestanding garage into a studio and began
the long process of saving money and collecting bricks to build my own high
fire kiln. In 2002 I had equipped my studio enough to leave my full time job in
middle management (50 hours a week) and pursue my living as an artist. In 2003
I received a grant from the Indiana Individual Artist Grant Program and got the
burners for my kiln making it operational. The kiln that I built provides me
the opportunity to make the sculptural work that I love and the thrown and
altered vessels that constitute the marketable work that I sell. I make two
bodies of work that relate to each other conceptually through the use of the
female form. Since 2002 I have been making my living by selling my work at
juried art fairs 15 to 20 shows a year. From 2003 to the present, I been an assistant
professor at Ball State University on contract basis teaching Drawing 1, 2 and
Design1and 2, Art education for non majors.. In all the classes I teach I
emphasize aesthetic concerns and knowledge of the historical approaches to the
medium as well as artistic expression. From 1995 to 2007 I have taught
beginning students and advance students in a variety of classes at the
Indianapolis Art Center.. Throughout my career I have
maintained an active exhibition record by pursuing gallery venues and juried
shows. I enjoy working in a wide range of approaches not only in clay bodies
and glazes but kiln firings. Large scale installations are informed by my hand
building and throwing. I enjoy incorporating natural materials with my
installations and pushing the perceived ideas of what clay can do.
