Artist Statement:
I started with clay more than
20 years ago. My pottery has
evolved from simple pieces to
intricate one-of-a-kind
sculpted originals. I
consciously work to keep my
pottery fresh, and feel my
passion for this medium is
reflected in the finished
piece.
All of my pottery is made with
attention to detail, form,
function, and beauty. It must
look good, feel good, and be
durable. Each piece is made
and designed as "one of a
kind,” and can beautifully
stand by itself. However,
items can be ordered in
multiples, but each piece will
be unique.
Sea vessels: Using pure, white
porcelain, I wheel throw,
pull, stretch, twist sculpt,
and finally glaze the clay. My
unique crater glaze is a
combination of chemicals
reacting to the intense heat
of a gas kiln, reduction fired
to over 2300F. The fire gives
life to the glaze, creating a
rare, barnacle-like texture.
Most pieces are fired two to
three times to achieve the
desired effect.
Thank you for your interest in
my pottery. If I can answer
any questions or if you would
like more information, please
email me....
