I have always loved and appreciated pottery. In 2010, I began taking classes at what is now Queen City Clay, and never turned back. I hand-build my pieces and love the process, the feel of the clay. The community is so nurturing and positive.

“My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors, but with a desire to experience the world through a camera. It evolved from an intense devotion to mountains and wilderness that eventually shaped all the parts of my life and brought them together. As primarily a landscape photographer, the people who have had the greatest influence on me are Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell and Tom Bol”
