Ross Adcock

Ross Adcock  studied at the Art Center College of Design and Otis Parsons School of Design, with a background in graphic design and illustration.

In the early stages of his career, Ross focused on pen-and-ink drawings, watercolors, and pastels, primarily in a representational style. Over the last decade, his work has evolved into a contemporary mixed-media approach, often incorporating found objects such as rusted wire.

Ross’s contemporary mixed-media work is truly inspiring, influenced by his travels across Mexico, especially Oaxaca. His vibrant, textured, and unique pieces reflect his deep connection to the culture and landscapes he encounters. In addition to his artwork, Ross is also an avid collector of historical handmade pottery from the town of Mata Ortiz.

Recognized as one of the finest and most innovative ceramics in the world, Mata Ortiz pottery is a beautiful recreation of the Mogollon pottery style, inspired by the historic sites of Casas Grandes in the Mexican state of Chihuahua and led by the talented Juan Quezada.
