My ceramic journey began a number of years ago and it has taken me many places and brought me into contact with people whom, when it started, I never could have imagined meeting. Importantly an inward journey as well, ceramics teaches oneself about patience, perseverance, focus and the need to slow down in this hectic world we inhabit. The fire gives its lessons on humility, detachment and control as well with each unloading of the kiln. While the journey still continues on a daily basis with more work continually being created, I kindly invite you to spend a few moments in review of my “travels” so to speak, to see where I have been, and hopefully you may find a piece or two which resonates with you.

“If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash” - Leonard Cohen

Hopefully the same holds true for the work found herein and It is my hope that you may find a few works on this site which will meet Mr. Cohen’s eloquent words.
