Artist Statement:
I have always been an artist
but my life has taken me in
many different directions...
After several years in Art
school, I entered the
wonderful world of full time
work. Creative thinking has
helped me in all of my
endeavors but my "work" has
never completely fulfilled my
need to express myself. In the
spring of 2006 I took a class
in pottery and have
re-discovered clay and my
passion for art...
When I'm learning something
new I try the very thing I was
told will never work first.
This way I think I may find
something new, or transform an
issue that everyone tries to
avoid into an attribute that
is unique to my work. I like
to look at other artists work
for inspiration, but when it
comes time to make something,
I prefer to free form and
experiment rather than stick
to a set of plans.
I like things that are precise
and smooth when other people
make them, but I cannot bring
myself to make something
smooth and precise. I think
the work I do reflects what I
see in the world around me,
rocks, busted up concrete,
buildings in decay, and
people, ...
