My work is typically narrative, speaking of the things that I experience and surround me in my day to day life. I interpret these incidents using metaphor: imagery of things that mean something to me, but are also identifiable to the viewer. Although I personally may intend specific meaning and purpose to a piece, it is my hope that the work is flexible enough to allow individual interpretations by each viewer. I create art because it is the way I think, the way I share my thoughts, and the way that I strive to assist others in conceptualizing events in their own lives.

I work in clay and mixed media. Each piece hand-built, using techniques such as pinch, slab, coil or 2-part press molds into which slabs are pressed and the pieces assembled and altered. My work is typically finished post-firing, using a variety of mediums such as acrylic paints and washes, inks, wax pigments and metallic surfacers.
