Born in San Diego, Troy Kingman was raised by the high desert and Pacific Ocean of Southern California. His work as an artist and designer exemplifies the dynamic nature of the land - vast, mysterious, warm, minimalistic, untamed beauty. His work is largely influenced by his childhood years spent excavating arrow heads and pottery shards in his back yard, bouldering and surfing, and observing the constant creativity of Mother Earth. Troy’s 20 year career traveling the world as a textiles designer and fine artist has led to his continued curiosity and exploration of modalities such as primitive pottery and wild clay foraging, woodwork, painting, and printmaking across many different functional mediums.
