...and I have spent my summer working away.
 
I showed my work for the first time to the public at the Hernando County Art Festival in May 2006.  I had a great time and met some wonderful artists and crafters.  My work won a merit award, which helped me become more secure in what other think of what is precious to me.

Even though I dabble in many mediums, clay is my main love.  The cycle of taking a lump of clay that smells of earth, shaping it, firing it and ultimately completing a process that ends in somebody handling that same lump of clay in its transfigured state. This final step is why my work is mainly functional.  The process doesn't seem complete until someone is using the object that was created.  I always try to incorporate something different and beautiful, something that changes the object from an everyday useful object into art.  I think everyone should learn to appreciate the bowl, cup, or plate they are using and find beauty in this world of fast paced living.  I hope that something I have made can, even if momentarily, help another appreciate the daily act they are performing.

Recently, I have been focusing more on my own work.
I had a great studio built in my back yard...
