WHERE TO BUY?

You can purchase my original here in my shop. I also have my work in local shops in Moab, where the selection will vary. The best way to know when the online shop will be restocked with new work is to join my email list.

ART PROCESS?

I work across multiple mediums, including acrylic painting, printmaking, and digital illustration, to create layered, dynamic pieces. My painting process begins with preparing the wood surface with a primer. I then build up layers of acrylic paint using broad, expressive strokes, building layers through glazing, eventually finishing with finer details. Once complete, I seal the work with a protective varnish or digital print finish, ensuring durability and preserving the vibrancy of the colors. In parallel, I incorporate linocut carvings to create a more graphic interpretation of the subject matter, which allows me to add texture and depth, layering these prints in my digital illustrations for prints, postcards and stickers. Through this blend of traditional and digital techniques, my work offers a rich, multifaceted visual experience that invites both close inspection and broad interpretation.

JEWELRY PROCESS?

I create handcrafted jewelry using a variety of techniques, starting with recycled clay scraps from my pottery production. This process results in a unique, one-of-a-kind material made from a blend of different clay bodies. I shape each piece by hand, adding texture and detail through carving, stamping, and impressing. After bisque firing, I apply 2-3 layers of lead-free glaze, building depth and richness of color. Once glazed, I fire the pieces again to cone 6 (approximately 2232°F / 1220°C) for vitrification. I then combine the ceramic elements with metal chains, findings, leather, and beadwork to complete each piece. By carefully considering scale and wearability, I ensure that every piece is lightweight, distinctive, and tactile—blending the artistry of ceramics with the personal expression of adornment.

MOAB VARNISH / CERAMICS PROCESS?

I combine wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques to create my ceramic work. I start by blending different colored clay bodies to form an agate-like effect as I shape the material. Using the wheel, I throw mugs, bowls, bakeware, and other cylindrical forms, while handbuilding methods allow me to craft my non-cylindrical pieces. I then stamp and carve each piece with a variety of designs and motifs. After allowing the work to dry completely, I bisque fire it, then paint underglazes into the impressions, wiping off the surface for an inlaid finish that highlights the patterns. I apply 2-3 layers of lead-free glaze to add depth and richness of color, before firing the pieces again to cone 6 (approximately 2232°F / 1220°C). This high temperature ensures durability and the ability to withstand thermal shock, making my functional pieces both beautiful and practical.

SHOP UPDATES?

Ceramics is a very time consuming art. Each piece is carefully formed from clay, glazed, then dried very slowly over several weeks to avoid cracking. It is then fired two times in a very hot kiln. Each firing takes a day to heat up and a day to cool down. This process limits the amount of pieces I am able to produce each month. I update my online shop as often as I can, but when I'm busy in the studio making new work, the shop is often sold out.

I primarily sell my work at in person art shows throughout the USA. Check for updates on my show schedule here. My web shop is updated infrequently when I am participating at in person events.
