I have been a clay artist for over forty years. My goal has always been to create interesting functional pieces that people will enjoy and use often. I work both in stoneware and in porcelain using a potter’s wheel, and now I often incorporate hand built or carved additions into my work.

My studio is located in Sandia Park, a beautiful setting in the mountains east of Albuquerque, where I enjoy watching the weather change over the San Pedro and Ortiz mountains, and the many song birds and cottontails that live in and beneath the piñons in my backyard. This special place has been an inspiration for the pieces that I create.

Clay is a wonderful medium, perfect in every way for many uses and forms of expression. It is also one of the most enduring art forms in any culture. It lets my spirit sing.
