The goal for my photographs is to capture images that really embody  the essence of the individual.  I am happy to be your photographer in whatever way I can. Senior  portraits, weddings, and family portraits are all venues that I enjoy. I  work closely with my subjects, striving to see and materialize their  vision.

 My normal 9-5 teaching art, ceramics, & photography has also appointed me in-house graphic designer. A hat I originally didn’t want to wear. However, over the years I’ve grown fond of putting some designs together and working with people to bring their ideas to life. Let me know if you need any semi-amateur design work done. 

 Clay is capable of being a physical poetry that no other material can be. It yields itself to be molded and formed while still having the strength to stand under its own weight and bear the will of the potter. I love to think that clay is thousands of years in the making and I can come along in the last few minutes of its journey and manipulate it into its final form. Through heat and pressure, a potter makes a form that can nearly last forever. With this mindset, I feel a great responsibility in the process and outcome of my pieces. Somehow, even with the weight of this responsibility, I find great comfort and therapy working with clay.  

 Sometimes you've got to draw and paint. I love making marks even when they aren't as accurate as they could be. I am drawn to marks that are alive and full of energy. So yeah, sometimes I love to draw and paint. Sometimes I have to do other things like cut the grass and put the dishes up. It's just all a part of it.
