Ricky Kwong is a multi-disciplinary artist who has worked in graphic design, fashion design, and art direction. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Design & Media Arts, and after a career in front of a computer screen he decided to take a break and work with a more tactile medium. Although he grew up painting and drawing, Ricky had never worked with clay so he took an intro class at Clay by the Bay for fun. Six years later he is still at it and has created a line of products under the name “Bowl Cut Ceramics” that can be found in stores across the city. His pieces can be described as playful, whimsical, and full of personality.
