About
Craft Apprentice Program Mentor Artist, 2022
Maine Craft Artist Award Recipient, 2023
I live and work in Roque Bluffs and Portland, ME, generally splitting my time. Roque Bluffs is an off-grid home and studio I built with a former partner starting in 2009. In Portland, I work at Running With Scissors Studios, providing me with a rich community of potters, artists, brewers, arts professionals, gallerists, and friends, amongst whom I create work. I often fire my work at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, in Newcastle, Maine, using their wood and salt kilns to add varying amounts of chaos, chance, or natural variation to my controlled etchings.
I have been a potter since 1999, and working in black and white sgraffito on porcelain since 2004. I have shown my work all over the world, and this year completed a very limited edition book entitled “Reflect, Adapt, and Persevere” with co-author Carri Lange, about my travels and thoughts on environmental philosophy.
