I am an artist living in Northwestern Oregon.  I create three-dimensional art using clay as my primary medium.

My art is a direct, immediate expression of my experiences and state of mind.  Personal transitions, friendships,  snowstorms and politics have all served as inspiration for my work.   I like to create objects which convey emotion and encourage the viewer to explore his or her own feelings.  My work is meant to be touched as well as seen.

I enjoy working with new techniques and pushing the boundaries of traditional processes.  I am currently exploring alternative methods for building large-scale ceramic pieces.  I am also exploring new possibilities for post-firing decoration.

My studio at Sequoia Gallery + Studios is open to the public several hours each week.  If you would like to come by to visit and see my work, please contact me for an appointment.
