Born in 1949 in Renton, Washington, 2014 American Craft Council Fellow, John Gill is a ceramic artist and educator. Receiving his BFA in 1973 from the Kansas City Art Institute, Gill immediately went on for his MFA, graduating from the New York State College of ceramics at Alfred University in 1975. Primarily known for his abstracted, geometric forms and brilliant colors, Gill’s work almost seems like a cubist painting in three dimensions. Currently a professor of ceramics at Alfred University, he received the SUNY Chancellor Award for Excellence in Teaching and is an active member of the International Academy of Ceramics. Represented by Harvey Meadows Gallery in Aspen, Kraushaar Gallery in New York, and Paul Kotula Project in Ferndale, Gill’s work is also included in numerous public and private collections such as the Newark Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Houston Museum, and the collection of Robert Pfannabecker. Gill lives and works in Alfred, New York.
