I make unique tableware and ceramic sculpture for the home and garden. The sculptures I make can live inside or outside, in the garden, year round. I generally sculpt with stoneware and make tableware from porcelain. Most of my work is inspired by botanical and sea forms which I abstract, often with a bit of humor. My tableware is thrown or slab built. Many pieces are carved or otherwise textured with my unique designs. I use clay as a canvas for painting. Drawing and brushing with glaze materials, then finish most works with a 2350 degree salt firing in a gas kiln. This atmospheric firing leaves a flame carried soda/silica mixture that glazes over my works and creates a watercolor like surface to my painted designs.  My tableware is robust and meant to be used daily. These are art pieces that will bring you pleasure, your first choices from cupboard.  My works are created in small batches. It is my hope to build in new forms and designs with each firing.
