'I'm interested in materials, colors, and, in general, objects of visual concern. I work to create copasetic forms in space. Tangible artifacts are of great import to me; I've spent my formal education studing the ceramic medium but also have a broader curiosity of many materials and the perception of them.
During graduate school at Indiana University, my fascination with ceramic chemistry prompted me to develop an online glaze and clay body database. (It is currently being rewritten and improved). Ceramic surfaces are endlessly engaging and I hope to continue my exploration as long as I'm working with clay.
I enjoy bright madras neckties, bicycling, and cold weather. Currently I reside in rural Minnesota tending a farm; growing plants, keepings goats out of trouble, raising barns, and eating great food."
