I’m about 18 months out of grad school…been plugging along, livin’ the life, as they say…my life revolves around clay, craft, art & design. I’mContinue reading “Rejuvenation”
New Studio!! Come visit this Saturday!
I’ve got a new studio!!! Phew! I went for more than two months without a place to stretch out and get dirty, and I think that’s about my limit. Toward the end there I did pick up some watercolors, sumi ink, and pens for some 2D explorations from my desk at home. That was actuallyContinue reading “New Studio!! Come visit this Saturday!”
Moving on to the Next Big Thing
Well, it’s all over folks…I’ve been through the wringer of grad school and have come out relatively unscathed. I, and 16 other fabulous makers/designers/artists/craftsmen/gluttons-for-punishment, graduated with our MFAs a couple of weeks ago.

Twist, a Photo Archive
Well, I took my show down yesterday. Overall, I’d say it was a grand success, but I’ll never again agree to do a show like this with only two months notice! The reception was lovely, and I was so moved that so many of my friends and family made the trek to Gresham to showContinue reading “Twist, a Photo Archive”
