I am an autodidact living in the cultural mecca of Las Vegas, Nevada. I have a one man woodshop, ceramic studio and print shop where I complete all of my work. For my ceramics I hand make all of my own models usually turned or carved from wood and cast my own molds. I mix my own clay and glazes from recipes I have developed and fire all of my own items. All of my woodwork is completely handmade. My printing is currently done on a restored Chandler & Price 14 1/2" by 22" Craftsman Press that was built in 1927. I also have a Chandler & Price Old Series Pilot Press that was manufactured around 1930. Both of these presses are hand fed so everything is printed one at a time. My artwork is printed from carved linoleum, wood blocks or photopolymer plates that I process at home. All of the items I have in my store were printed on one of these two presses. I am influenced by many things. In my ceramics I am particularly fond of Scandinavian and Japanese work. In my furniture and other woodwork I am partial to Shaker and Arts and Crafts design. The common thread for me in all of these influences is simplicity. Simplicity in design, function and construction. My goal in all of my work is to make something that people will enjoy. To me this means the item should be attractive, functional and affordable. My work is intended to be used. I want people to pick them up and investigate and appreciate the object. Since I have the attention span of a fruit fly I tend to have many interests that change hourly. I encourage you to check back regularly to what new items I have added.

Shipping is included in the price of all of my items. I typically ship all of my items on Tuesday of each week. I will ship worldwide but please contact me first to determine shipping costs to other locations.
