About Frank Mearns

Frank Mearns has been passionate about creating visual art since he was a kid. He was inspired by influential artists around him such as Helen Mason, a renowned 3-dimensional artist who was a mentor throughout his college art career. He later graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in fine arts with a concentration in ceramics and pottery. He got married to his true love Barbie and together they travelled across the country with their dog and cat to California.

Shortly after arriving, Frank got in touch with Dave Cuzick and his wife Mary, two local ceramic artists. They quickly became friends and his new mentors. Frank credits the Cuzicks with supporting his pottery career, being proud to work along side such influential potters and members of the San Diego ceramic community.

Today Frank enjoys creating functional thrown pottery and hand-built pieces.
