Pottery, Watercolor and Oil Painting

Currently pursuing a lifelong interest in creation of art, both two and three-dimensional. Present focus is Art Pottery (mainly wheel thrown, working in traditional firing and Raku) and watercolor painting.

My artistic view is best described as collaborative, where the medium and the artist each bring specific elements to the production of the final work. I find this relationship particularly relevant in working with clay, where the characteristics of the clay and the processes to bring it to final form work together with the inspiration and guidance of the artist to produce the final object. For me, this concept is relevant to creating in most media.
