William Blizard Gallery - Past Shows – 2025

In this vibrant exhibition, ceramic artists Bree Maxwell and Scott Zimmer exhibit personal and collaborative work.

Part of the two-person exhibition, “What Remains,” answers the question many artists have: “What if we worked together?” Maxwell, primarily a potter, and Zimmer, primarily a sculptor, answer this exact question. Their friendship spans more than two decades, but have never worked side by side until now. Through the stacking, breaking, and multi-firing of personal and academic studio discards, new visual possibilities emerged. Metaphorically, works intend to capture a moment in time revealing the essence of transformation and regeneration. 

Maxwell is a ceramic artist and entrepreneur celebrated for blending ceramics with community and collaboration. Since founding Studio 467 in Vernon, Conn., in 2019, she has built a dynamic creative hub that offers classes, hosts residencies, and provides a platform for artists of diverse backgrounds to connect and thrive.

Zimmer is an American artist who holds degrees in gardening, fine art in architecture. His garden-inspired work has been shown nationally, he has attended numerous artist residencies, and taught at universities and craft centers since the early 90s.
