Note:
Fred Uhl Ball was born in Oakland, California in 1945, son of illustrator and enamelist Kathryn Uhl, and ceramicist F. Carlton
Ball. Fred's interest in enamel was fostered at an early age, and he received his bachelor's and master's degrees in art from
Sacramento State University. Over the years Fred experimented with different techniques and became renowned for his mural
work, especially in the Sacramento area where he lived and maintained a studio. On September 10, 1985, Fred was attacked outside
of his studio, was paralyzed from the neck down, and died in a hospital two months later.
