Architectural Ceramic Mural Walls

As a full-time artist my goal is to make “inspiring art with a purpose:” I use my engineering and technical background to design and build innovative and large-scale public art pieces in an area of ceramics called architectural ceramics. Architectural ceramics involves creating 3d relief tiles for applications as wall murals, fireplace surrounds and any other residential or commercial application. My combined art and technical engineering background give my clients a high-level design, detail and craftsmanship and my goal is to bring my customers ideas to life using ceramic tiles.
I feel at heart I am a designer, maker and a creator and love the opportunity to use my combined artistic and creative skills creating custom large-scale ceramic projects with input from the stakeholders. I had an amazing and very rewarding career teaching and inspiring engineering students how to design and build technical projects. In addition, I was able to help the State of New Mexico as Director of MTEC (Manufacturing Technology and Engineering Center at New Mexico State University), which was the engineering extension arm of NMSU. I now feel I have come full circle and have gotten to place where I began as a young man and when all I knew was how to design and build things, which is being as a full-time ceramic artist and craftsman.
