"I hand build one of a kind stoneware sculptures that are inspired from nature and daily life. These pieces are fire three to five times depending on the color and surface I am trying to achieve. I approach color on clay as a painter. My palette is a comb
I allow the earth to feed me information for my art . Working intuitively from pounds of wet clay, forms appear and stories develop. I may be questioning an occurrence or celebrating a relationship or just being present in daily life. The search continues until I reach the core: the spiritual level of the sculpture. Then the work can speak. Hopefully the viewer is drawn to the mystery and the beauty of the piece. I am touching ground, getting to the basics, and listening.
