All
my life I have experimented with various art media—including
charcoal drawing, oil and acrylic painting, glass mosaic, and
stained glass. I discovered clay in the early 2000s and immediately
fell in love with its soft sculptural qualities and its wide range
of potential forms, from everyday functional items to those of
pure artistic expression.
I enjoy
creating functional pottery on the wheel--hand building human
forms and abstract sculptures and making jewelry and tiles, often
with botanical and textural qualities. I use a variety of clays
(stoneware, porcelain and raku) and firing methods (reduction,
soda and raku) to play and learn in order to express myself through
this medium as both art and craft. |
