I form both wheel thrown and hand built ceramic pieces. I love to carve leather hard clay to create imagery, texture and movement. Sgraffito is carving away a colored slip covered porcelain.

I sculpt, mold, and cast ceramic vessels and animal forms, firing to cone six with proprietary glazes. Painterly surfaces, slow cooling, and layered colors create unique works balancing function and form.

I make wheel-thrown ceramics, with a focus on finely made geometric or textured forms and vibrant, inlaid glazes in botanical patterns. I use stoneware clays, mix my own glazes, and fire to cone 6.

My glass art is kiln-formed at high temperatures, up to 1450 degrees, to create pattern and form. My work is mounted on white acrylic for a clean, polished appearance.

Glass is cut, designed and heated inside a kiln at 1500 degrees to create a single piece of glass. From there it goes back in the kiln at a lower temperature to slump for the final functional piece.

I work with multiple clay bodies, firing to cone 6 oxidation and cone 12 woodfire. I use heavy altering and relief carving to embody the essence of nature through a variety of textures and patterns.

I combine various techniques in my hot glass work, including blowing, fusing and sandblasting, to create my uniquely textured, vibrant, whimsical glass and reflecting my love of abstract art.
