My work is simple and useful. I like it to be cheery and pleasant, bringing details gathered from nature. I aim for simplicity in my forms but add elaborate details in the stamps that I design and carve by hand. I hope that the imperfections, the evidence of my hands on the clay, is what adds to the character of my pieces. I make functional pieces that are durable because I want them to be used everyday. When my work becomes a part of someone’s daily routine it gives me a sense that I’ve contributed beauty and softness, even imperfection, to an otherwise structured and often mass made world.
I became enamored with clay in high school art class. My parents, both artists, recognized my infatuation and converted part of our old barn into a studio. Fascination with the ceramic process meant I spent hundreds of hours making. The simple task of giving early work to friends and family revealed an important aspect in creating art: sharing it. I discovered that my creative process is a cycle that begins with, and is completed by, offering my work to the world. Decades later l’m still fascinated with clay, and now work from my garage studio.
