Sources of Inspiration: Lake Superior Rocks

Rocks are a constant source of inspiration for my artwork. Ranging from my love of their shapes whether it's an individual rock or whole rock formation. In addition I gain ideas from rocks earthy color palette, and patterns.

The rocks from my most recent trip to lake superior were particularly inspiring. That shoreline had a plethora of voluminous round rocks with amazing patterns. Look at how I found a black rock with an orange pattern similar to my tattoo.
I seriously could have drawn sketches of the rock patterns for days on that trip. I couldn't believe diversity of granite colors with subtle texture. I mean just look at that yellowish and reddish rock I am holding in the pictures below. Glaze goals for sure!

Ps. I hope you had some adventures and time to be refreshed by nature this summer as well.

Sources of Inspiration: My Dad

About my Dad:
He is a psychologist and builds beautiful homes on the side. I am a lot like my dad, and share the "energizer bunny" gene.

My Dad is one of my biggest mentors.
He taught me:
  • Great work ethic (by example, how he raised us, and all the summers of working on his houses)
  • Appreciation or respect for functional arts (there are a lot of parallels between pottery and architecture...the details really make a house or a pot great)
I feel really lucky to have such a wonderful family, and a dad that is supportive of my career in the arts.
Ps. My Dad builds really beautiful homes with stunning trim work. To see more pictures of the house he most recently built click on the pictures below or this link.
