Artist Statement
I make pots for you to use as you live your life. I'm happy if my pots find a way into your regular routine and somehow enhance your life. Using someone's pottery is like having lunch with a friend.
Biography
I was taught by Leach trained potters at the University of Minnesota and did my graduate work at Wisconsin and Notre Dame. Until 2012 I taught full time and chaired the department at Mt.Hood Community College. I have since been in the studio full time and teaching classes in studio and workshops both nationally and internationally.
