# About me

I'm a potter in Minnesota. In my art I am very interested in the balance of function and aesthetic. Wonderful aesthetic can be a part of any piece with a slight alteration of the structure, some strategic use of texture or just letting the clay be clay. I enjoy using these techniques in my pottery as I continue striving for the perfect balance of function and aesthetic, even though that perfection is unattainable.

As an artist I am inspired by Dale Chihuly. His sculptural, even organic looking chandeliers and various glassworks are some of the most impressive and serendipitous works I have seen. Another artist I have great appreciation for is Alexander Calder. His technical expertise shows me that any structural issue in a piece can be solved and be beautiful.

Not a problem. The bowl is absolutely beautiful. Completely organic and the glaze shows some similarities to one of my ash glazes. How was the bowl fired?
