1998 -- one of my handcrafted ceramic vessels. Thie picture on the vase represents Mt. Rainier. I carved the design on the vessel before firing, then I painted the picture using special ceramic paints. This is how it looks like after it was glazed and fired for the second time. I had a showroom at the Los Angeles Mart, and a warehouse/studio in San Diego. Some of my vases are still in a gallery.
