My first encounter with a potters wheel occurred in high school. We all have those moments when our awareness is expanded, and we begin to see in a different way. Early on, clay was that portal for me. Since then it has been a constant source of enticing music, calling me to listen to the rhythms held in the creative dance.

That fascination has endured for over 30 years.
While my primary profession has been in the field of graphic design, I’ve come to believe the underlying fundamentals of good design cross over most, if not all creative disciplines. For me, the dual involvement with a three dimensional clay environment, and the

two dimensions of graphic design provide an exciting synergy of ideas and solutions.

My ceramic work is focused on the balance between raw natural surfaces coupled with very intentional form. I strive to distill the essense of a shape, and get it down to the core of its being.

All my forms are vessels. The idea of holding, containing, protecting something inside - has a meaning beyond physical. The visible form, and the more hidden space within evolves as each piece comes into existence, developing a personality of its own.  Much like all of us.
