Gene Tobey

Gene Tobey (1945 - 2006) was active/lived in Texas, New Mexico.  Gene Tobey is known for Ceramic mod animal sculpture.

From Mason, Texas, Gene Tobey and his wife Rebecca have worked as a team, creating brightly colored, somewhat abstract animals with elements of realism and with line drawings incised into the surfaces.  Their work ranges from small objects to a fifteen-foot bronze bear at the Law School of Baylor University.

Tobey was born in Utah and began his career as a working potter and sculptor and teacher at Casper Community College in Casper, Wyoming.  He was also a teacher in Albany, Oregon at Linn-Benton Community College.

In 1985, he married Rebecca, and they combined five children into a family and started working together professionally.  In the mid 1990s, they shifted away from ceramics to work in bronze and experiment with eye-catching patinas. 

Gene Tobey died at age 60 in Santa Fe, New Mexico of leukemia.
