GORGE ARTISTS OPEN STUDIOS

525 Highline Road, Hood River, OR

My transition from pastry chef to hand building ceramicist has been natural and full of creative adventure. I take my inspiration from the garden, botanical illustration, and a love of surface design. Hand carving my own stamps or working with glaze pencils and bright pigments allows me to play with texture, line, and color.

I’m a craftsman at heart striving to make aesthetically beautiful, comfortable and most importantly functional pots.What excites me? Color and texture. Beautiful forms.
