About Us

Neely specializes in functional stuff which features timeless classical design with a contemporary twist. She also creates mixed media tables, which include native materials, stoneware and fiber. Her stabilized adobe constructions look great in southwestern homes.

George does most of the decorative stoneware stuff. Large slab wall plates, beautifully asymmetrical stretched slab vessels, mugs, bowls and platters are also reduction fired to cone 10.

Neely and George met at Arizona State University while working of MFA's. and both moved to Yuma in the early 70's to become Yuma's first artists-in-residence, a program funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Arizona Commission on the Arts and Arizona Western College. George still teaches at Arizona Western College and Neely has always maintained a local gallery space to sell their work.

The Tomkins restored and adapted the old Vanegas store in Yuma's historic North End during 1998/99 to use as their new gallery space. The shop and studio spaces are at this location. They have no employees. It's just them. For the last 15 years, Neely has also been Executive Director of the Yuma Symposium, a total immersion art weekend hosting a national audience for a long weekend at the end of February.
