his BFA in sculpture from Indiana University and his
MFA in ceramics from the University of Florida. He has
exhibited his work all over the U.S., from California
to New York. His work has been published in Clay
Times and Lark Books and he is currently an
interim full time professor at Santa Fe Community
College. "I
make my figures believable enough to carry the weight
of their affliction, but plastic enough that their
expressions disclose a subtle, dark humor.
I want the humor of my pieces to give a degree
of accessibility that allows the viewer to feel more
comfortable with the figure’s exposed
vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities created by these
inconsistencies in social norms that we, as males,
perpetuate."
