My journey creating ceramic trompe l’oeil stones began while flyfishing the rivers in the central Idaho mountains. The softly rounded forms of river stones have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life, and after 20 plus years of creating these ceramic stones, they continue
to be my passion.

Journeys, whether in life or in a stream, tend to remove rough edges. Much like the journey of the stone tumbling along the stream, my work mirrors and celebrates the processes and journeys that leave the marks of time. The result is that not only the finished piece but also the process itself becomes metaphor for the beauty found in life well-lived.
