Sean Erwin received his BFA in studio art from Stetson University in 2004 and his MFA from the University of South Florida in 2008. He currently resides in Helena, Montana and is the recipient of the Lilian Fellowship for ceramic arts as an artist attending the Archie Bray Foundation. In addition to his active exhibition record, Sean has also been involved in several artist lectures, workshops, conferences and symposiums, both locally and nationally. His work questions the validity of behavioral expectations prescribed by social normatives and employs humor in an attempt to reinvent these expectations within the timeless medium of ceramic sculpture.
