He was an emerging artist resident and received an Anonymous Artist Award at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN, exhibited in group and solo exhibitions at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, MO, and was a NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) Multicultural Fellowship recipient. 

Artist Statement

My ceramic vessels are vehicles to connect with others through their colorful yet earthy surfaces. My work’s intention is to encourage meditative interactions through touch and invoke a sense of of motion, flow, energy, and torsion through fluid mark making. My vessel forms help cultivate awareness and elevate sensory perceptions to hold one’s attention to the present moment.
