My work marries the best qualities of both pottery and wood.  In regards to pottery I make and fire traditional Raku, Porcelain, and other types of clay.  I currently work at the Morean Center for Clay and spend much time on the wheel with some diversions into hand building.  I often embellish my wheel work with appliqué, some of which hangs on the wall and others best placed on tables, both of which find their places in home decoration.  My glazing technique includes both commercial glazes and self developed glazes. From my home woodworking studio, I often turn wooden bases and lids for the larger bowls and pots that I make, using various unique woods found here in Florida and around the world to include Florida Rosewood, Mahogany, Olive Wood, English and French Walnut, Cypress, Sycamore, and Zebra Wood. Some of those wood turnings are decorated with inlaid turquoise, coral, lapis lazuli, malachite, abalone and other crushed stones and shells.  My main wood passion of late is in creating functional charcuterie boards with the same variety of inlaid materials.
