“I am a full-time ceramic artist.  I create and design my contemporary Raku vessels, wheel-thrown and alter the form. I also hand-build from slab to create shapes.  I build my own Raku kiln and I fired all my own work. To find one's true talent is one of the most important and difficult things in life.  Working with clay comes very natural to me.  It is my intention to pursue excellence through my art.”
