Artist Statement

My work is about clay's ability to move and my ability to move with the clay. The magic in working with the earth, fire, water and air into an artistic statement is a continuous adventure with my heart, mind and soul.

I am primarily a vessel maker, though all of my vessels are not necessarily functional in essence. I prefer working with grolleg porcelain for its ability to flash, its translucency, its silken skin, and for its whiteness.

My forms evolve naturally when technique and the creative spirit unite. It is the questions I ask from one form to the next that assist in my growth and development. Through experimentation, the scope of possibilities become endless.
