"How are you able to form these vessels so that they possess such convincing beauty?" "Oh," answers the potter, "you are looking at the mere outward shape. What I am forming lies within." - M.C. Richards
I am a potter, ceramic artist, studio consultant, studio mananger, pottery owner, teacher, mentor, father, friend and son. North Carolina is my ancestoral home. The mountains are my inspiration and salvation. I endeavor to make works of function and decoration in the midst of one of the richest craft environements in the country. I am a member of a community that gives, shares and seeks to broaden the importance of the hand-made object. To this end, my work can be found in local galleries, churchs, collections and homes. I frequent craft festivals and sell work by commission or from my studio. Anything in clay.
