I work mainly in ceramics, but also produce works in printmaking and painting. I am growing my body of work to reflect the combination of ceramics and printmaking techniques that makes my work special. My themes are largely taken from observations of local flora and fauna, with influences from a wide variety of stories and symbols from ancient and modern history selected to illustrate the patterns and motivations that illuminate the human experience. I follow the modernist philosophy that art should be transparent to the transcendent. I make art to show the beauty, the humor, and the sublime to be found in life. I make art about the things I love, and I love the process of creating art: the tools, the preparation, the iterative creation.
