I’m a ceramic sculptor based in Calgary, Alberta, creating animal and figurative sculpture shaped by a deep love of nature, a fascination with surface, and a desire to make work that feels alive with presence and meaning.

My sculptures are rooted in close observation of the natural world. Animals have long drawn me in, not only for their beauty, but for what they seem to carry: watchfulness, vulnerability, strength, mystery, and connection to the living systems that sustain us. Through clay, I try to honour that presence and invite a similar sense of reflection in others.

I still stop to poke under rocks.

That instinct to look closely, to notice small living things, and to feel wonder in the natural world has been with me since childhood. It continues to shape both my life and my work.

My Work

I create mostly animal and human figurative sculptures. Some are full-bodied forms. Some are fragmentary or emerging. Many carry rough, weathered, hand-worked surfaces that hold the marks of making.

Surface is central to my work. I use texture, slips, oxides, underglazes, washes, and layered colour to create pieces that feel both expressive and grounded. I want each sculpture to have presence, character, and a sense of history, as though it has been discovered rather than simply made.

My work is collected for the way it brings emotional depth, story, and a strong handmade presence into a space. Whether placed in a home, office, or collection, I want each piece to feel distinctive and quietly powerful.

Five percent of every purchase supports the Alberta Wilderness Association.

My path into ceramics deepened after a back injury reminded me that life is precious and that the work that matters should not be postponed.

I built a studio and committed myself to learning the medium seriously. Since then, clay has become the place where my love of nature, form, colour, and meaning come together.

At the heart of my practice is a desire to create sculpture that encourages reverence for the living world. Biodiversity matters deeply to me, and that concern sits quietly underneath much of what I make.

Training, Exhibitions, and Collections

My studio practice has been shaped by ongoing study with outstanding ceramic artists, including Dave Settles, Adrian Golban, Alessandro Gallo, Hayne Bayless, Adrian Arleo, Christina Cordova, and Brendan Hesmondhalgh.

My work has been supported by Calgary Arts Development through a 2023 Artist Development Microgrant.

I am a 2026 Federation of Canadian Artists Exhibiting Member and was affiliated with the Professional Artist Association and

My sculpture has been shown in exhibitions and galleries including:

• Golden Duck Gallery, Budapest

• Federation of Canadian Artists

• Arts Aqui Gallery, Calgary

• Art Market Craft Sale

• Alberta Potters’ Association exhibitions

• other juried international and Canadian shows

My work is held in private collections across Canada.

Beyond the Studio

Alongside my sculpture practice, I host the podcast Colour and Ceramics, where I interview ceramic artists from around the world about their work, ideas, and creative lives.

I also created Creative Momentum Lab, a practical project designed to help artists and other creatives work through self-doubt, distraction, and other inner obstacles that interfere with meaningful work.

Both grow out of the same core interest: helping creative work become more honest, focused, and alive.
