Artist Statement

A native of Pennsylvania, my artistic career began in 1993 working on the rivers of West Virginia as a videographer for the whitewater industry.  Upon receiving my BA from WVU, I relocated to Fayetteville, WV to be closer to the Mountains and Rivers.  As I continue my education with Summersville TV as a community video journalist, I also love interacting with people with my ceramic art.   

Making tactile and utilitarian pieces, I would like my pottery to influence people as it has influenced me.  Handmade, from the earth to build human relations, may it be conversation, fellowship, or communion.  I call it mindful consumption. 
My work has certainly evolved in many ways, and continues to evolve as I try to find my artistic voice.   Currently, my art features renderings created with graphic design software and transposed on to clay vessels using a Mishima inlay technique and Sgrafitto.  I like the idea of fusing contemporary processes with one of the oldest processes of our time.  The perpetuation of the potter's trade is vital to maintaining and preserving humankind's culture.

I hope you enjoy my soulfully inspired handwork.  Each piece is fired to Cone 6 and is durable enough for daily use including the dishwasher, microwave, and oven.  You can contact me
