Clay can be anything but it takes a lot of practice to make something.

I am fascinated with the many possible variations that ceramic

materials and processes can bring to an idea

I have been working with clay for most of my adult life and introducing others to the material that fascinates me through most of that time. Those new to the medium often miss the importance of process. Every piece is a step on the way- with no piece “finished”. I enjoy working in series, repeating a form but always with variations. Ideas grow as the work takes shape in the hands -- each piece holding the seed or suggestion of the next. Changes in materials, processes, or improvements in technique, make each piece new. The possibilities and challenges are endless. I look forward to being back in my studio, growing.
