About Me


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I--
I took one never traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

I'm an artist. I'm a purist. I'm a million different people from one day to the next.

I work with most any media, but in particular I study ceramic sculpture, glassblowing, poetry, guitar/vocals, and ink drawing; whichever grabs my attention at the moment. The work I produce is a direct reaction to my environment, to feeling in a world that seems to feel nothing. I strive not to tell people what to believe, but instead present my view of things from an angle often overlooked or strained from its origins.

Be the Best
No Negativity
No Acquiescence to Fear
Or Disaster
No Errors of Ignorance
No Evasion from Reality

- Jeff Buckley

My Interests
