Printmaking — intaglio, lithography, and monoprints. Worked for several years on an aquatic/ocean series. This water-related imagery described movement by setting up a dynamic tension between static or timeless images and active, sometimes floating, imagery through the use of sea creatures and waterscapes.

Pottery, Sculpture, Wall Plaques– raku and stoneware. Continues the themes of the prints and includes other nature imagery. Functional dinnerware and decorative one-of-a-kind relief plaques. In 2005, built a Bourry Box woodfire kiln. Recent work consists of functional and decorative ware that emphasizes the atmospheric glazing resulting from the ash deposits from the firing.
