Artist Statement
I like creating functional stoneware pottery that is one of a kind and can be used for a lifetime of enjoyment. My pieces can be used in the kitchen, or displayed and handed down from generation to generation. I am inspired by nature and architecture, which you can see throughout my work. I like to throw on the wheel, alter the piece, and add hand built and sprigged elements to my pieces. In addition, I like to experiment with different textures and glaze combinations.
