Terry M. Gess La Napoule visual artist residency "In November of 1996 I was invited to participate in a ten day international pottery symposium in the People's Republic of China. The experience of living and working in a world community of artists proved to be a deeply insightful creative experience for me. I plan to use the two month La Napoule residency to delve further into the experience of an international artistic community. Specifically, I look forward to the solid block of personal studio time, influenced and informed by the lively conversation and cultural exchange of the assembled community. I expect that the geography of southern France, the community of artists, and the freedom of unrestricted studio time will enrich and enliven my artistic development." Terry Gess received a BFA from Cleveland Institute of Arts and an MFA from Souther Illinois University. After three years as an artist-in-residence at The Penland School of Crafts he has settled in the Penland area. Return to the NC Artist Grant Award Recipients for 1998-99
