Dream lino-cut

Relief printed stoneware platter with underglaze and glaze fired to cone 6 in oxidation, 15" x 15"

Welcome!  I create functional pottery, sculptural wall tiles and ceramic jewelry using porcelain and white stoneware clays in Denver, CO where I moved in 2004 after living in New England for five years.

In the past year, I have experimented with adding imagery and texture to my clay work.  Traditional printmaking techniques such as relief printing with lino-cuts, screen printing, mono-printing, and intaglio have allowed me to explore different creative avenues.  Additionally, digital applications offer exciting possibilities.  As my work evolves, I hope to settle on one or two methods that I find as a suitable means of expression.
