My work is steeped in archetypal and personal symbolism. Figures, houses, boats, are just some of the forms I choose to work with. They all have several layers of meaning I find intriguing.

My surfaces reflect the attraction I have for found objects. The wear of the surfaces, and marks of their journey is the feel I strive to achieve on my own work. To accomplish this I use a layering technique.

Each piece begins with slabs or on the potter’s wheel. The pieces grow with the application of coils or additional slabs. When completed, I carve or texture the surface and let dry. The base colors are applied and fired. I then apply and wipe off a combination of terra sigilattas, slips, stains and glazes, and fire again. This process is repeated until I achieve the desired effect.

Life is good.
