Damian Ross began slowly honing his love of fly-fishing, beginning with fly-tying in the 1980s, and then a fanatical fishing friend introduced him to the Sierra Nevada’s trout waters in the 1990s, and his world expanded from the small local trout streams to bigger waters and tall peaks. Fly-fishing started looming large in his life. On track two, and about the same time, Ross started adding artwork to his pottery and ceramic sculptures, and the artwork always seemed to be about trout and fly-fishing. Before this time, Ross had dabbled in trying to sell his traditional pottery and sculptures at fairs and shows around the state. He built kilns and pottery wheels commercially, and he even created pottery commercially for a while, sort of a one-man mass production shop. That was when the burnout set in and he just quit for five or six years. You might even argue it was the fishing that brought him back to the ceramics and pottery, and then the two merged.
