It was a birthday cake drawing contest with my mother\,” Wickman recalls. “My drawing was terrible. This contest inspired me to improve my drawing skills and I think\, possibly\, I have.” \nSince moving to Inyo County in 1974\, Wickman has worked as a dedicated potter and educator\, teaching art in public schools\, community colleges\, and private studios. Alongside his wife Judy\, Wickman has owned two art galleries and continues to produce work from their home studio in Lone Pine\, CA. \nWickman’s work is characterized by a sophisticated blending of local native materials with commercial elements\, utilizing various firing and decorating methods. His aesthetic is deeply informed by the stark beauty of the High Desert\, the traditional techniques of Japanese pottery\, and the quietude of Zen Buddhist philosophy. \n“We are incredibly honored to host Drew’s first retrospective\,” says Sharon Freilich\, Executive Director of the ICA. “His work is a reflection of the Eastern Sierra itself—exposed\, intentional\, and deeply rooted in the landscape. Seeing the full arc of his career in one space is a gift to our community.” URL:https://www.easternsierranow.com/event/getting-here-a-retrospective-art-exhibition/ LOCATION:Inyo Council for the Arts\, 150 Willow Street\, Bishop\, California\, 93514 CATEGORIES:Arts,Inyo County ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.easternsierranow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/unnamed-5-2.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260506 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260522 DTSTAMP:20260616T091205 CREATED:20260513T213238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260513T213238Z UID:154291-1778025600-1779407999@www.easternsierranow.com SUMMARY:Big Pine Schools Donation Drive for Inyo County Animal Shelter DESCRIPTION:Eastern Sierra Now \n ESN News: June 15th\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n Play Episode\n \n \n Pause Episode\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1x\n \n \n \n \n 00:00\n /\n \n 00:19:08\n \n \n \n \n \n Subscribe\n Share\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n RSS Feed\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Link \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Embed \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nDownload file | Play in new window | Duration: 00:19:08 | Recorded on June 15\, 2026 May is National Pet Month.
