Throughout my architectural career, I have had a strong academic interest in classical architecture and ceramic art and have traveled extensively throughout Greece, Italy and the Middle East in order to study and experience for myself the beautiful art and architecture created by these ancient cultures. My artistic inspiration comes, in part, from these ancient sources along with influences drawn from my experiences in the American Southwest and Pacific Northwest.



My approach to creating high fire, reduction pottery is from a functional perspective. What I hope to achieve is a functional vessel that incorporates classical elements of form along with fluid lines of motion, sculptural elements or decorations and a balance of color and texture.
