Probably the most significant influence in my development as a potter was the four year mentorship of Richard Fairbanks (see Richard Fairbanks, American Potter ISBN: 0-295-97302-1). Later, encounters with Paul Soldner attracted me to the immediacy and beauty of raku pottery. Initially my interest in art was painting and the spontaneity added to the color achievable in raku seemed to have the painterly quality I was seeking. Early influences in painting came primarily from the work of Mark Rothko, Edgar DeGas and my instructors, Steve Bayless, Gaylen Hansen and Rob Sterling. Cultural influences, in addition to many fine artists I have met along the way, have primarily been the classical periods of China and Japan along with the Impressionists/Expressionists of Europe.
I presently live in Las Cruces, New Mexico with my wife Judy and our three cats, Pumpkin, Harley and Sadie
