My passion is working with clay - a soft malleable substance - throwing, forming, and urging it into an object of both beauty and function. An object, which can be admired, touched, held, and used in daily life. I use mid-range fired stoneware in my work and enjoy glaze colors and themes, which compliment the culinary experience. It gives me great insight and joy to create a one of a kind piece of artwork. I hope others enjoy viewing and utilizing the pottery as much as I enjoyed making it!
I am an avid cook and have been experimenting this past year with various forms of bake-ware, serving pieces, and other items that enhance the culinary experience.
I have been making pieces to become part of your daily life as well as pieces that become part of your traditions and celebrations! I look forward to sharing my latest functional and decorative creations with you.
