Statement:

 

I am a clay artist.  I work primarily with stoneware.  My forms starts on the potter’s wheel and are then softly altered into familiar geometric forms.  I love to make a series of components and then spontaneously build with them to create spaces and shapes I find interesting.  I use a soda fired reduction kiln and a wood fired kiln to fire my work.  The combination of the warm earth tones of the clay, the subtle effects of the soda ash, makes each piece unique and one of a kind.  I have always been a maker.  I find it important to live with and use handmade objects in daily life.  It is a grounding effect on the spirit of our home and myself.
