Artist Statement

"I am a potter. Clay is my life"

Throwing porcelain clay on a potter’s wheel provides the possibility
for a special kind of refinement in form and and volume and line for 
the pots that I make. How I am able to manage the marriage of
surface decoration and glaze color to
those forms is an endless challenge
and source of delight. The more I explore porcelain, the more possibilities open in front of me. It is in the pace and rhythm of each day that I find strength and inspiration. Through constant dedication and practice of my art, access to a place of not knowing sometimes occurs, and it is from this space out of time that my best and most creative expression appears. 

My life is in service to beauty as I try to express through form and volume, line, surface, and color, the thoughts, hopes and dreams of my heart.  I am a potter. Clay is my life. My goal is to create pieces that allow people to recall a place of beauty in everyday life.
