Andrew Jowdy Collins has worked with ceramics since 2001.  His work combines iconic form with a revisionist approach to color theory to create vessels and wall works. He has exhibited nationally, including at Grohmann Museum, Plinth Gallery, and Nemacolin. He has created artwork for Fallingwater, Andy Warhol Museum, Hampton Designer Showhouse, The Grand Tour, and has work featured in American Art Collector and Table Magazine, among others.  Current projects include a collaboration with Patterns of Meaning, a small collective of artists who create multimedia works inspired by and utilizing a collection of steel foundry patterns dating to the 1890’s. He lives and works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where in addition to fine art, he runs JOWDY, a studio for functional ceramics.
