I express myself using the tactile medium of clay. My art is mostly nonrepresentational and minimal using geometric shapes and patterns. I think my years of working in the aircraft, automotive and construction industries have been influential. I like to assemble minimal wheel thrown vessels with geometric attachments and tops. Sometimes my vessels are contrasted with driftwood found while hiking. I am intrigued how each piece is uniquely formed by erosion and weather. Ceramic art requires trial and error and time to make a compromise with materials. I continue to be intrigued by the possibilities, drawing inspiration from the world around me, both natural and manufactured.
