I am very interested in the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century, and particularly in the current dialogue/debate about craft and art. I consider myself a Maker and take pride in handcrafting all of the components to my pieces.

I appreciate the unique qualities of both material and form. I like to allow my work to express individuality in each piece within the context of making repeated objects. I strive for order and repeatability, but love when circumstance or the material changes the direction of my intentions. The end result often mirrors a natural form that is both organically familiar and natural in its imperfections.

My inspirations are the clean and simple lines in Japanese motif and modern architecture, the gentle curve of a leaf, the round cool weight of a stone, the foreverness of the ocean...
