Humans are not my artistic focus. Truth be told, I'm not feeling very charitable towards my species right now, but if I want to address ideas that resonate with me, I'd best go at it head on I suppose.

I've been drawing and creating for most of my life.  As a teen, I painted Christmas scenes on store windows for extra money. I studied drawing, printmaking, sculpture and ceramic arts at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Ca, American River College in Sacramento, Ca. and Southern Utah University, though I think it’s my love of animals and my years as a zookeeper that most inform my work.

In 2004 I began my life in clay in earnest by apprenticing to Master Potter Darlene Beverlin, and have been taking some time to develop my own aesthetic and voice. Beginning in 2011, I began transitioning from functional pottery to sculptural ceramics and have been exploring that medium ever since. Currently, I work primarily in midrange stoneware clay, with oxides and underglazes, throwing in some mixed media as needed.
