I create functional pottery, sometimes verging into the functional-sculpture realm, influenced by nature.
I use wood, epoxy, and steel to create functional, yet abstract tables.
Wheel thrown and altered functional ceramics high fired to cone 8-10. Work is made from high-iron stoneware or porcelain with iron impurities. Pieces are fired in a wood kiln or electric kiln raw or with scratch made glazes.
All of my work is fabricated by hand using sterling silver sheet, wire, and natural stones. All of the plant and animal forms I create are textured using a burr in my flexshaft to sketch the details into the silver, and often have multiple layers of silver to add dimension. I also use some Precious Metal Clay and mixed metals in my designs.

After selecting each piece of hardwood stock, this is milled down into strips of different thicknesses in order to give the piece a 3D effect. The wood is then cut into various shapes and sanded. Paint or stain are then applied to each shape prior to putting the piece together. Each shape is then adhered to a backer with wood glue. After the edges are trimmed down, the piece is then ready to be framed and finished.
Our functional art is made with natural, live edge black walnut wood, and filled with vibrantly colored epoxy resin.
A successful image sets a mood, and creates an emotional response. This is my goal. There is more to a moment than what you see with your eyes. There are your thoughts at the time, the sounds, smells, what you touch...and more. All of these are real and integral to my photography.
I use multiple in-camera methods to achieve my goal: using lens, homemade pinhole, and vintage 1950's cameras. All my images are captured in natural light.
3D wooden wall art made from skateboards and other found and recycled woods. The colorfully dyed veneers are cut, carved, sanded and adhered to birch ply and framed. Background Acrylic on wood.
Kiln-formed Glass Jewelry: Colorful glass layers are kiln-fired, cold-worked and fire-polished, then set in custom designed silver settings or wire-wrapped to create necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Jewelry pieces are designed to combine kiln-formed glass techniques with metal clay processes and traditional silversmithing.

In my eclectic work, I break up objects with refraction lines allowing the dispersion of light. I custom mix layers of acrylic paint to create the desired depth and vibrant synergy within each piece.

Created with knife and brush on gallery wrapped canvas, my acrylic paintings are grounded in my interpretations of nature. Color, with the interplay of light, along with the layering of textures is emphasized. Some works are painted over an application of metal leaf adding a unique surprise element.These works are challenging to photograph because of the reflective light.
Acrylics and archival inks on various papers which are cut into shapes & adhered to panel with gel medium and nails

I use centrifugal casting machine to cast rings earrings and pendants in 14K whitel gold, 14K yellow gold and sterling silver as well as several doublecast using both white and yellow making each piece an original. Many different special cut stones set into these pieces.
We create pieces that are often altered through piercing, carving, and unique glazing techniques. We make our own glazes and combine them to best enhance each piece. Our pottery is meant to be used, and used often.
Handmade pottery inspired by Asian heritage and the natural beauty of the Kettle Moraine in Wisconsin

360° Illuminated Sculptural Painting-Abstract expressionist painting on fabric using inks, dyes, paint, attached to fiberglass/resin form lit from within by remotely controlled LED lights. The result is illuminated sculptural paintings that are interactive, changing with every light change and viewer angle, allowing the viewer to personalize my art constantly.
Colorful glass and glass powders are kiln fired, cold worked and shaped, and may be accented with glass enamels to create glass trays, sculptural and wall art.
Impressionist style encaustic photography custom framed using reclaimed wood, metals and found objects. Each frame is handmade and crafted to complement and enhance the image rather than simply frame it. This combination of style & materials helps to create one-of-a-kind statement art pieces.
