About The Artist

“My intent and challenge is to create unique, contemporary and abstract forms which evoke a personal and consequential response.”

Growing up, I would escape the orchestration of my prescriptive suburban community, and bicycle for miles along the New Orleans lakefront and then south toward the river, passing through rows of shotgun homes and diverse communities before arriving at dawn in the French Quarter. It was a fascination with the character of “The Quarters” and how it could be continually retranslated through the smells, sounds, and shadows of an architecturally unique space that drew me back so often. This experience no doubt informed my own artistic expression.

In 2008, I began showing my work, which includes open and closed vessels, teapots and wall sculptures. Several of my pieces are in private and corporate collections, including the Fleur Bresler Collection and the permanent collection of The Kamm Teapot Foundation. Although known for my unique, slab built wooden teapots, my wall hangings best reflect a fascination with simple, and more recently, complex intersections, which I consider the “roux” of compelling design. Although I hold a number of degrees, as an artist I am largely self-taught, having benefited throughout my life from observations of, and associations with, accomplished artisans.
