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.
