Working in a century old schoolhouse, north of Decorah Iowa, in the
village of Burr Oak, I create 1-of-kind, wheel thrown,
decorative
and functional, stoneware pottery. My forms are
tight and
strong, with decorations that are dynamic, clean, meticulous,
highly geometric, and often with anthropomorphic elements.
