I throw classic forms and use surface textures to give them energy and vitality, resulting in art that is both pleasing and alive. I seek to create patterns and textures that emphasize the organic interplay between order and randomness as found in Nature. My goal is to pursue the interplay of shape, surface texture, ordered patterns, and random effects so that work is created that intrigues the eye and demands to be touched. Although my work is functional, it is often prized as decorative.

ACGA Clay and Glass Festival in Palo Alto
Palo Alto, CA
International Academy of Ceramics Congress
September 16 to 20, 2024
Alcobaça and Caldas da Rainha, Portugal
The theme of the conference will be “Ceramics in Mediterranean countries”, with a special emphasis on the phenomenon of the tiles that are so deeply rooted in Portuguese tradition. The Congress will include a visit to Lisbon to visit at least the Museo Nacional do Azulejo (National Tiles Museum) and the Gulbenkian Foundation.
It is also planned, as is tradition in our Congresses, to carry out two tours through the host country: a pre-tour and a post-tour, where we will visit many of the localities of ceramic traditions, such as Reguengos de Monsaraz, Redondo, Barcelos, Mafra, Aveiro and surely some others.
