I’m an artist and designer creating bespoke stoneware and mixed media art. Over the last 30 years, I’ve crafted work intended to elevate everyday moments into extraordinary experiences. My work invites you to explore the interrelationship of the natural world, memory, the quest for beauty, humor and artisan utilitarianism.

The expression of utilitarian form in its most organic form always challenges me. A piece has to be balanced, functioning and not superfluous. It also needs to express freedom from the bounds of convention and expectation. Somewhere in there, the laws of utilitarianism and the freedom of transformation agree to play nicely with one another. It doesn’t always work, but when it does, it is most satisfying.
mixed media
Materials can be anything - prints I make, paper found traveling around Europe, bits of metal or string. The results tend to be whimsical with urban undertones.
