Doug Snider
Arts/Industry: Pottery, 1996
Doug Snider is a San Diego, California- based artist. His twenty years of experience as a ceramic sculptor have led him to create large-scale public works of art. His studio, #15 in Spanish Village Art Center of Balboa Park in California, is set up to design and fabricate anything from small sculptures to large public artworks. Models are first made of clay; then sculptures are fabricated out of steel and concrete.
Some of his artworks have been installed in locations around Oahu, Hawaii, and at Honolulu Hale (City Hall), Hawaii; the Kennedy Theater, Indiana; and the Academy of Arts of Honolulu, Hawaii. Snider has had several residencies opportunities, such as the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s Arts/Industry and a five- month stay in an eighteenth-century bread factory converted into a ceramic studio in Switzerland.
Snider received his MFA in ceramics from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He also has ten years’ experience as a teacher at various institutions including the University of Hawaii, San Diego State University, local community colleges in California, and privately from his studio. He continues to work closely with the San Diego community.
