Jesse Edwards height - How tall is Jesse Edwards?

Edwards is a close associate of master ceramicist Charles Wing Krafft. Krafft has been recognized internationally for his series of "Disasterware" which manipulates aesthetic qualities of 16th century Dutch Delftware (or Delft pottery) while using themes that reflect modern realities. It was Krafft who introduced Edwards to ceramics, instructing him through months of private study. Jesse’s ceramic art has since earned him gallery representation, critical acclaim, and attention from the New York Times, among others.

Jesse Edwards moved to New York City in 2011. He worked for the realist painter Chuck Close shortly and has done numerous exhibitions in galleries primarily downtown such as The Hole Gallery and Vito Schnabel Projects. He maintained a studio in the basement of The Hole Gallery on The Bowery from 2011-2013. Following that Vito Schnabel procured him a studio from April 2013 - November 2017 in downtown. He had a showing of 10 ceramic cell phones at the Museum of Sex in 2012-14.

Edwards' outwardly thuggish persona and high-profile antics are well-known attributes of his public image. In 2009, Edwards was considered for the BRAVO reality art TV show, Work of Art: The Next Great Artist.

Jesse graduated from Snohomish High School, after which he spent one year studying the art of the Old Masters in Seattle's public libraries. In 1999, he was accepted into Cornish College of the Arts on a Nellie Scholarship. Cornish later threw him out of school for verbally abusing a professor. About being kicked out of Cornish, Edwards said, "I knew they wouldn't like what I had to say, but I figured I would go out with a bang."

Jesse Edwards (born 1977) is a professional American fine art oil painter, graffiti artist, and ceramicist born in Hayden Lake, Idaho. He works and lives in Seattle and New York City. Edwards is a distinguished member of the Mystic Sons of Morris Graves.
