Work of the Week at the Asheville Art Museum - August 29

Cabalo Valador Series #28
Therman Statom was born in Winter Haven, FL in 1953 and was raised in Washington, DC. As a young man Statom developed a friendship with Cady Noland, son of the Asheville-born abstract painter, Kenneth Noland. Statom's decision to become an artist was reportedly attributed to his acquaintance with the Noland family.

Following his early studies in glass art at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, WA in the early 1970s, the budding artist earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1974, and a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from Pratt Institute's School of Art and Design in 1978.
