RottenPotter is a collection of my work and represents my creative philosophy, outlook, and attitude. I don't like to refer to myself as an artist. Art can be associated with many different people and ideas, and I prefer to be known as a painter or potter. Just about anyone can be seen as an artist in one way or another. Some artists and artwork we admire, others we despise. ‘Art’ and ‘Artist’ have many different interpretations and I want to avoid confusion in regards to my work and myself.

I enjoy and appreciate the history, thought processes, manual labor, emotional expressions, manipulation of materials and learning experiences that are inherent in Studio Art. I believe that order and chaos are both essential elements to creative work. I tend to be private in producing and displaying my work. Donors, patrons and collectors are always welcome and appreciated.
