About The Artist…

Peter Levins was born with a passion for art and nature, proving himself both an apt craftsman and photographer at an early age. He graduated from The New England School of Art and Design in Boston, Massachusetts where he learned to refine his skills, earning a degree in advertising and design. Having worked twenty plus years at some of the top advertising agencies in the North East, he continues putting his skills to use managing a print studio at Arnold Worldwide.

Peter is an ultimate craftsman, inspired greatly by the nature that surrounds Lot 5 studio, which he founded along with his wife Judith Levins, in 2008. Throwing functional stoneware, his ceramic work is deeply influenced by the clean classic lines of architectural and automotive design. He sees beauty not just in the aesthetic but also in function, creating art that people use in their everyday life.

When he’s not in his corporate studio building mechanicals and presentations, or at Lot 5 immersed in clay, Peter treks the Virginia hillsides hunting birds and wildlife with his cameras. His photography captures the local inhabitants going about their daily activities.

     Influenced by such greats as Ansel Adams, he takes to heart the legend’s quote: “Nothing is worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.”

For Sale: Matted and Framed photography along with ceramics will be for sale.
