I have been living in Waco, Texas since 2008 after graduating from the University of North Texas with an MFA. Currently I support myself as a lecturer at Mclennan Community College. Making work manages to get in there somewhere. The line between sculpture and function is faint and the forms have more to do with the wood kiln itself than any allegiance to a particular technique. I try to be honest with the process and to be involved with it physically and mentally. Firing with wood has proven to be a good source for both of these things.
