I love texture on clay! Can you tell? I hope you enjoy exploring my website. Here is a recent piece: "Justice is Blind." It is one of my "Everyday Saints" series, and is now showing with 2 other masks downtown Portland in the Multnomah County Justice Center's street-level window display: on Madison Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues. This piece was fired with a raku process, which randomly creates wonderful greens, coppers and metallic colors.


A row of my demons from my "Dudes & Demons" series. As you can see, I am moving into more sculptural work.
