artist statement
Making pots is my art, I make them for people to use. I believe that my pots would attract those who appreciate beauty and function working in harmony. I hope their forms give the user a sense of joy. It is important to me to create communication a “conversation” between form and surface. In my intimate relationship with each individual piece of work becoming an extension of how I respond to the movement of the wheel and the clay.
