The presentation will be an overview of his ceramics and drawings from 1989 to present. He will discuss his artistic decisions, career choices, and professional ambitions. Chris will also talk about marketing and exhibiting artwork and the future of the traditional "art show". Bio - Chris Theiss was born in 1967 in Hope, Rhode Island.
