Crimson Laurel Gallery

My figurative sculptures provide a quiet place where one may reflect upon the narrative possibilities of the human condition.  In my work I endeavor to convey the inherent goodness within mankind, whether quietly masked or direct."

My works are hand built and I use thrown forms, extrusions, coils and slabs combined in different ways to create pieces that are sculptural and often ceremonial in nature. My works are raku-fired with light reduction, generally sprayed with water and then put into hardwood sawdust to cool. The result is an aged, often stone-like or metallic appearance.

My whistles are drawn from the people and animals I encounter in my life and travels.
