My ceramic work is inspired by nature, particularly the flora and fauna of the Sonoran desert. All of my stoneware pieces are hand-built using slab, coil and pinch methods, and are finished with a combination of oxides, stains, glazes and underglazes. I maintain a home studio in the foothills of Tucson, Arizona, where I have worked since 2004.
