Roberta Griffith: Trophies

For 42 years, Roberta Griffith served as a professor of ceramics and drawing at Hartwick College, cementing her status as a Central New York legend. Griffith now splits her time between Otego, New York and Kaua’i, Hawaii. After receiving her Master’s degree from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale in 1960, Griffith was awarded a Fulbright grant that brought her to Spain to study with ceramist Josep Llorens i Artigas, who was then at the height of a 30-year collaboration with painter Joan Miró. Griffith returned to the United States in 1964 and has always retained ties to Surrealism and abstraction.
