I graduated from Arizona State University in 1993, Bachelor of Fine Arts, focus on sculpture. Then, I completed what I consider to be my “second degree,” working for the next 13 years as a Model Fabricator for a variety of applications, including for movies, stop-motion animation and museum exhibitry.
After becoming sensitized to epoxy resin (through repeated use), I ended my model building career in 2006, and moved forward, acquiring computer skills and working in various fields. It was during that time that I visited Ceramics as a way to return to making art…(see Previous Work, Hearts and Toys pages)…
…then, I had 2 kids… time passed…
…and then, in 2017, I set up a home studio, and perhaps more importantly, I was able to make time to create sculpture again.
And now, I’m working with clay in a whole new way. The freeing premise is: “Every piece is a test and every test is a success.” This approach has allowed me to work faster, take more risk, and try new-to-me techniques and materials. See what I have been building in the Portfolio!
