I have always been an artist but my life has taken me in many different directions... After several years in Art school, I entered the wonderful world of full time work. Creative thinking has helped me in all of my endeavors but my "work" has never completely fulfilled my need to express myself. In the spring of 2006 I took a class in pottery and have re-discovered clay and my passion for art...

When I'm learning something new I try the very thing I was told will never work first. This way I think I may find something new, or transform an issue that everyone tries to avoid into an attribute that is unique to my work. I like to look at other artists work for inspiration, but when it comes time to make something, I prefer to free form and experiment rather than stick to a set of plans.

I like things that are precise and smooth when other people make them, but I cannot bring myself to make something smooth and precise. I think the work I do reflects what I see in the world around me, rocks, busted up concrete, buildings in decay, and people, who although bright on the inside, show a weathered exterior to most who pass them by...
