Growing up in Galveston, on an island in the Gulf of Mexico, Louise Lamar-Fuller formed a deep connection with the earth, sea, and sky early on. Earth is the clay she works with; sea and sky provide the colors she favors. She started college at Rice University, and then marriage, motherhood, and moves took her to the DC area, to California, and back to central Texas, before she arrived in Morgantown, WV, where she at last discovered clay at West Virginia University. The seduction of that discovery pulled her out of the prospect of teaching English literature and into pottery-making. While directing WVU's Craft Center for 25 years, she made functional stoneware work on the potter's wheel and gradually added handbuilding and the making of vessels that are conceptual as well as functional.

In addition to decades of teaching pottery-making, Lamar-Fuller has taken her work to noted craft fairs in West Virginia, as well as the Three Rivers and Shadyside Fairs in Pittsburgh. She has had work in a number of juried exhibits, and she has had solo shows in galleries and museums in Morgantown, Fairmont, and Clarksburg, WV, and in Guanajuato, Mexico.
