WAYNE RIVES grew up in Raleigh and left with his draft notice in his hand. Forty-eight years and twenty-three moves later, he returned to the area, settling in Youngsville to build his pottery studio. While pottery was his primary focus in the 80s and 90s, he has been moving into oil painting along the way. Retired from “real” work in 2005, he earned an Art History degree at the University of Oklahoma in 2008.
