With many years of experience in graphic design, I can assist you with any type of project. My passion is designing for museums, galleries, artists, and for children.
My artwork focuses on reusing materials in creative ways. I like to encourage others to think differently about the stuff of life that we encounter every day.

Booth C13
I enjoy working with porcelain for its translucency and lightness. I like to use a surface decorating technique called “mishima”, whereby I carve whimsical botanical illustrations that I then in-fill with a stained slip and hand-paint the accents (fruit, flowers, leaves and so forth) afterwards. All of my pieces are food-safe.
I have an engineering background, so I tend to prefer functional forms that start with good, fundamental design principles.

Booth A04
I have been making jewelry since 1974. I am the tenth generation New Mexico artist in my Family dating back to 1728. The theme of my work is Past, Present, Future. My work is inspired by the efforts of all the generations that came before me.

I make art and illustration and teach workshops. My work is mostly character and narrative based, communicating thoughts and ideas in fantastical pictures–and I love teaching others how to do the same.
