IMAGE IS EVERYTHING!




Whenever I have an exhibition, or my photos are used in the media, people always compliment me on the image quality. I have always felt that it is extremely important to represent your work as professionally as possible. I am very lucky to have a great friend, Brian Reiser who is a top-notch photographer in Toronto. He always shoots my ceramic pieces for me and continually captures exactly what I have envisioned.
He shoots for some pretty amazing clients, and I am always flattered that he is still willing to shoot for me!
I've posted a few of his images, but visit his website to see his portfolio.

GARDINER MUSEUM OF CERAMIC ART -- TORONTO



I was pleased once again to have a piece of my work used for the Gardiner Museum outdoor signage. (Turquoise bowl in the lower portion of the sign). I must thank the staff at the museum for all of their support. They always display my work beautifully. While I was visiting Toronto yesterday, I snapped (on my phone!) a vignette shot of my work inside the museum.
Be sure to visit the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art...it's amazing.
