My Background
I was born in Michigan and I have lived most of my life here, except for 4 years in the US Air Force and a year in Europe after my time in the Air Force. I have also spent a lot of time in Canada, which is sort of "next door" to Michigan.

I have an associates degree from University of Alaska Anchorage, a BS in ED from Central Michigan University and a MA in Art also from Central Michigan University.

My Background
A majority of my work consists of wheel thrown Ceramic Sculpture based on organic patterns of microscopic and macroscopic organisms. Some are based on seedpods, teeth, pollen, sea animals, squash, and even watermelon, but as the development proceeds, they merge and take on new forms of possible and imaginary organisms. All are hand made,
A majority of my work consists of wheel thrown Ceramic Sculpture based on organic patterns of microscopic and macroscopic organisms. Some are based on seedpods, teeth, pollen, sea animals, squash, and even watermelon, but as the development proceeds, they merge and take on new forms of possible and imaginary organisms. All are hand made, one- of-a-kind pieces, usually done in a series, so there might be some similarity among some pieces, but no two are ever exactly alike.

For most of my life, I have been both attracted to and very allergic to, large numbers of trees, grasses, and bushes.

For most of my life, I have been both attracted to and very allergic to, large numbers of trees, grasses, and bushes. I have refused to become trapped indoors just because of these allergies, and as I began to develop unique sculptural forms, I examined both macroscopic and microscopic elements of nature. By examining the form and structure of seeds and other natural objects, I found great beauty in these simple forms, and developed simple organic sculptural designs, based on slightly abstract versions of these natural world objects.
