Sculptural Ceramics + Mixed Media
A curve carries the eye around a form. A weathered surface suggests a history. An unexpected detail changes the story. These sculptures move between abstraction and familiar characters, inviting curiosity—and leaving room for more than one interpretation.
Still Runs
He’s had a few repairs. A few screws, a bracket or two—enough to keep him going. Weathered clay, rusted hardware, and found wood tell the story of a horse with plenty of miles behind him and no intention of stopping.
A Matter of Time
What looks like rusted metal is ceramic. Layered forms, fractured edges, and weathered surfaces suggest machinery left behind—objects whose original purpose has faded, but whose presence remains.
Road Rage
He’s pissed, and he’s going to let you know about it. A brief encounter at a stop sign exploded into a clash of titans—big egos, short fuses, and nobody backing down.
About the Artist
Clay began as a break from everyday demands and became a way of paying closer attention. An overheard conversation, an animal’s expression, a weathered piece of wood—each can become the beginning of a sculpture. Today, that curiosity moves between figurative storytelling and abstraction, with room for humor, surprise, and discoveries along the way.
