After graduating from a vocational High School Arts program where I found my curiosity for materials, colour, form and function I went on to the Ontario College of Art and Design. There I progressively expanded my creative expression though exploring many different materials and techniques. This wide exposure lead me to a professional career of 22 years in woodworking and prop building. All my creative past experience converged into one medium, clay, when I joined Gladstone Clayworks in 2010.
