A sculptor, educator, and father, when I'm not with my family, I'm in my studio or at the Art Center feeding my innate need to create. As an artist for over three decades, I'm still enthralled by shapes, forms, and sharing my passion and expertise with students of all levels. My work often features geometric sculptures made from ceramic shards or mischievous, multi-spouted coffee pots, challenging expectations about form and function and reflecting the inherent fragility of the medium. I grew up in rural Ohio, where I developed an interest in how to make things, and then sometimes destroy them!
