Artist Statement

I have been a hobby potter for many years and have just started to sell my work professionally. I split my work between functional pottery, garden totems, and whimsical gnomes.

Biography

I started in ceramics in the mid 90's, i have been working as a hobbyist ever since out of several different studios. I have spent the last 4.5 years acting as the ceramics tech at Mt Hood Community College. This winter I have decided to go out on my own and professionally sell my work. I am excited to venture into this new community /profession.
