Artist Statement

I like to have fun with my art, not just in the making of it, but also creating things that people admire and question. My art will often has little surprises. Like a nice form that is actually hollow, or a three legged vessel that is really one piece. I enjoy watching people's expressions change as they look closer and discover the piece.
