HP Bloomer attended the University of North Texas, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2007, and a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics in 2011. While growing up, his father was an architect and painter, and his mother was a potter and art educator. In his teens and twenties and while working on his degree, he was involved in the Texas punk scene and toured and gigged with bands. Inspired by this DIY ethos, his work focuses on highly decorated utilitarian forms, which draw inspiration from his interest in architecture, and abstract designs inspired by fashion and textiles, to highlight the intersection between the manmade world and often overlooked indigenous plant species. His most recent work explores the flora of North Texas and his own personal narrative. He has been an Artist in Residence at The Carbondale Clay Center, Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, and Cobb Mountain Art & Ecology Project, and is currently an Adjunct Professor at University of North Texas and Dallas College.
