Public art commissions are a large part of my work. I enjoy working with architects, designers, construction companies, and community constituents to create just the right work for the particular space and setting.

I create many large-scale individual pieces, including thrown vessels, and hand-built clay sculptures. Each piece is made from high-fired, vitrified clay and can withstand any outdoor weather. Whether to enhance your outdoor space or add to your indoor art collection, please contact me to see available items for sale.

Each sculpture I make is entirely designed and fabricated by me. Each creation, therefore, is unique in concept and design. My fabrication methods in making large-scale work has been developed over years of experience.
