The roots of my object making reach back into my parents’ metal and ceramics studios, but my professional pursuit of art began while studying art and literature at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. It was there I took my first classes in glassblowing and metal smithing, and there where I met a handful of artists who greatly influenced my artistic vision. I am attracted to objects that have gained their value through the meticulous design and labor of the crafts person rather than solely through the inherent value of the materials used. I enjoy being the force who through working with and combining materials elevates their value.
