He received a Bachelor from Yale University in 1952, studying under Josef Albers. His first one-man show, which took place in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, in 1962, was arranged by Andrew Wyeth. He went on to participate in numerous solo and group shows throughout his life, including ones at the Wadsworth Atheneum, the National Academy of Design, the American Watercolor Society, and the Academy of Fine Arts.
Retrospectives of his work were mounted at the David Findlay Gallery in New York in 1997 and 1998.
Potter was also a masterful portraitist: his portrait of Malcolm Baldrige, former secretary of commerce, now hangs in the United States Department of Commerce.
