Artist Statement:

My abstract ceramic sculptures and vases celebrate the forces of nature—earth, water and fire. In my work, I reflect on the constant cycles of change and interconnectedness of all life, exploring organic form, line, and the curvilinear grace of botanicals and natural landscapes. I love the sensory experience of handbuilding with coils and slabs of clay. The forces of nature also influence my work as my sculptures are exposed to the transformative powers of wind and fire in the wood kiln. The wood firing leads to surfaces that have depth and subtle variations of texture and color, imparted by the movement of wind and fire through the kiln. The result is a visual and tactile experience in which the surface is inherently integrated with the form.
