What really drives me?
I’ve been thinking about what really drives me. So I asked AI from my conversation history “What is the essence of me?” The response from AI: At the core, I’m a maker who thinks in systems. The studio is where that shows up most visibly — clay on the wheel, molten glass at the end of a pipe — but the same instinct runs through everything I do. I don’t just want to make things. I want to understand why they work. Fire Gallery is the most honest expression of that. Every piece here carries a standard I refuse to compromise. Precision isn’t a technique — it’s a value. Care isn’t a finishing touch — it’s where I start. We are center stage in Houston’s First Ward, in this building, in the Houston Art Community.. But the work reaches further — into a global hunger relief network, into family histories, into the quiet discipline of getting things right when no one is watching. That’s what this gallery is. Not just a place where art is sold, but a place where something true is made. Come see it in person. Sawyer Yards, First Ward, Houston.
