Abstract:

Joel Queen is an eighth-generation potter. Queen, a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee, has always been interested in arts and crafts, but has worked as an artist full-time only for the past four years. In 2005, he opened his own gallery near Cherokee to show and sell his work. Queen's creations have been displayed at the Smithsonian Institution, the British Museum in London, and at Monticello.
