Each piece of ceramic art is sculpted and handbuilt, meaning nothing I create is made on the wheel. I enjoy the organic forms of hand building and the slow repetitive processes are meditative for me. You can see the evidence of the maker in the forms, which I love. It is unlike anything made in a factory.

I am fascinated with alternative firing processes and cold finishes – most of my pieces are made without glaze. The colors are from various mixed media or organic materials and chemicals combusting during a low temperature barrel firing with wood. On some pieces a unique sheen is from a lengthy process called burnishing.
