ARTIST STATEMENT:
A son of America’s rural heartland, I was first exposed to pottery by potters during travels from Japan to Southeast Asia, while serving in the Navy. Upon return to civilized life, I studied ceramics under Professor Russ Schmaljohn at Northwest Missouri State University. Now after over a five decade relationship with clay, I am still fascinated with its possibilities.
I have sold my work at quality art shows throughout the country for over thirty years. I concentrate on good form and texture, keeping my color palate simple. The raku process delivers what I am looking for.
