I did not start out being interested in making film. I always identified as a potter, but while studying Folklore I was introduced to film as another way to look at the world. Film has allowed me a new perspective on pottery and a new way to interact with fellow ceramicists. Filmmaking has led me from a wood fire in Eugene (fire looks great on film) to ceramic studios in Russia and a wedding in the Republic of Moldova. I am interested to see what where my lens will lead me next. Click on the images above for additional information on my films.
