About the Judge
Freddy Santana is a Sacramento regional ceramic artist and educator. His work represents the exploration of tradition without being limited by that same tradition. Inspired by his culture, Santana states “philosophies and ideas, the forms and techniques, the images and symbolism reflect both my history and my present. However, I do not seek to replicate tradition, for I am not solely my past. I am the present using modern techniques and materials and struggling with modern themes.”
A graduate of California State University Sacramento, Santana was also an apprentice to internationally known artist Thanos Johnson for two years. Currently, Freddy Santana is the Visual Arts Department Chair as well as teaches ceramics and art at Laguna Creek High School.
