Charles Birnbaum




An artist for 25 years, Charles Birnbaum studied ceramics at the Kansas City Art Institute with Ken Ferguson, and after receiving a BFA, he did his graduate work at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Over the next two decades, despite working-full time in business, he continued developing his unique vision and the exquisite craftsmanship that makes his art so extraordinary. In 2004, he quit his job as a bond trader to become a full-time artist.
