Statement

The human form and animals inspire me. These subjects allow me to express how I observe human behavior. Drawing from my life experiences, I strive to tell a story in a satiric commentary. Clay is the medium I utilize because of its earthiness. Over and over I am amazed when my pieces come out of the kiln and I remember it all began from a ball of clay.

To begin a piece of work I use a live model or an image from my mind, as I work the story begins to evolve. My goal is to have my piece stand-alone, by this I mean that it needs to have a pure underlying form before I add any surface treatment. I do not want my story to interfere with the viewer's enjoyment of the piece. My desire is that the one who looks at my work interoperate their own thoughts and feelings.
