Deep down in my roots I’m sure I was at one point a grave digger. During the lost years I attended art college, studying ceramics and sculpture. Funereal works started to tumble out. Indeed, in fact (under the influence) for a sculpture class an “official” (in dimension only) grave was dug...amazing experience...took forever...under the light of the moon... buried a ceramic raku steam iron.

That was back in the day...I continued to build large cast tombstones...celebrating the passages of loved ones and loved creatures.

The work shifted then to photographic captures of staged rooms within a doll house where the story line varied. There was an edge of dystopian story telling.

After locating to Southern Alberta my work again has shifted back into the shaping and sculpting clay. More “stream of consciousness” works tumbled out. Focusing on specific clay bodies and glaze combos while participating within the Medicine Hat clay guild.

Now residing in Eastend, Saskatchewan my ongoing works are continuing to evolve, shifting to the use of plaster casts, beeswax, collage making and archiving past artworks.
