Hand built stoneware sculpture that expresses a personal connection with the figure and nature.
Working intuitively with wet clay, forms appear and stories develop. I may be questioning an occurrence or celebrating a relationship or just being present. The search continues until I reach the core: the spiritual level of the sculpture. Then the work can speak. My works are markers of my life. Each sculpture is fired 3 to 5 times depending on the color and surface I am trying to achieve. I approach color on the clay as a painter. My palette is a combination of oxides, underglazes, slips and glazes. I hope for the viewer to question and to embrace the mystery and to feel.
