Artist Statement:
His artwork uses ornamentation and narrative as artistic allies in the creation of VOCOs (Vessel Oriented Ceramic Objects). These objects are graphic clay canvases that question our past actions, events and people. They can be irreverently witty, gut wrenchingly serious, or filled with parody. They use history for arsenal: our folklore, politics, science, human geography, and most importantly, our popular culture.
Over the past 10 years he has participated in over 100 art exhibitions including solo shows at the Morean Center for Clay in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in OKC, and the Belger Art Center in Kansas City, Missouri. During the same period, he was awarded Best of Show award in nine invitational and juried exhibitions highlighted by Un-Wedged in Seattle, WA and Visions in Clay from the San Francisco Bay Area.
