Before I became a full time ceramicist I worked as a ships captain in San Francisco for many years. Today my affinity with the Ocean is reflected in my ceramic vessels.
My work emulates Atlantic seascapes discovered while kayaking the local County Cork Atlantic coastline of South West Ireland.

Each piece below is named and some contain found materials from the place that inspired it.

My  ceramics sculptures are inspired by my explorations  along the South West coast of Ireland by sea kayak. This type of kayak allows for an intimate and exciting experience. I translate  the dynamic geological forces I observe while making, layering and compressing clay bodies,  using found materials  like drift wood and rocks to mark make and sculpt.
