WHERE TO BUY?

You can purchase my work here in my shop. I also have my work in local shops in Moab, where the selection will vary. If you are local to Moab, feel free to reach out if you are interested in viewing current works at my studio in person.

WHICH ART MEDIUMS?

Working full-time within the worlds of Ceramics, Painting, Printmaking and Digital art, I produce 6-8 bodies of work a year. Each body of work offers me the opportunity to cross pollinate ideas between mediums, refining existing designs and exploring new ones. 

I’m intrigued by the pursuit of creating artful tools for artful living. My inspiration is found in my surroundings, ancient patterns, and architecture. There is a delightful tension between creation and inspiration that creates a meditative space of harmonious flow for me to decorate, carve or paint the canvas in front of me at any given moment.

Artwork

My artwork is an ongoing visual exploration of decorative themes. My childhood was shaped by being raised by an artist and a driller, and the patterns of mineral deposits and erosion found in the geology of the Southwest desert feature prominently in my landscapes. An ongoing obsession with sacred geometry is reflected in the close-ups of native plants, with a recurring theme of rotational symmetry.

I use sketching, painting, printmaking and digital illustration to explore these themes in detail. I often bring the components and layers of each of these techniques together in a digital version of the design. The detailed version is often used for prints, postcards, and stickers, while the simplified digital version often finds its way onto textiles or my ceramic work.

CERAMICS PROCESS?

My pots are thrown, thrown and altered, or hand-built. To achieve visual depth in my surface decoration, I employ a variety of techniques at every stage of the process. I work with a range of stoneware clay bodies, each varying in color, often using multiple clay bodies, which adds a unique, impossible-to-duplicate element to each piece before I even begin.

In the leather-hard stage, I use hand-carved stamps and tools to carve patterns for recessed designs, and slip trailing for raised ones. Once the pots have been bisque-fired, I inlay underglaze into the incised and carved patterns before dipping and brushing on 2 to 3 layers of glaze. For work that has not been carved or slip-trailed, I use wax and vinyl glaze resist methods, applying multiple layers of glaze to create intricate patterns. These are then fired to cone 6 in an oxidative atmosphere. Each pot is designed to serve a functional purpose and is compatible with modern appliances.

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.

SHOP UPDATES?

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. My web shop is updated infrequently when I am participating at in person events.

Unable to make it to an in person event? Feel free to contact me about available inventory.
