My dialogue with clay is about process and how the process of making informs me about myself and the world I live in. It amazes me that a lump of mud can be transformed into a functional form or used for sculptural expression which communicates to people about what they know, where they've been, how they feel or their aspirations.

My ceramic work is both practical for the enjoyment of everyday use as well as aesthetically pleasing for the presence in a room. I choose the wood fired process solely because it is an extension of my finding experience when creating. The wood fire process truly is an exciting adventure with discovery and the unexpected which is one of the most valuable experiences of human existence.
