I believe that clay has the potential to teach us about its relationship to the earth, impermanence, and transformation.

I am a form-driven ceramic artist, who treats ceramics as an embedded and significant element of my spiritual practice, which also includes yoga and meditation. My creative process requires mindfulness, patience, and attention to detail over time.

I am fascinated by patterns and geometry found in places most people pass by without noticing.

I have always found inspiration being in nature. The textures I apply and forms I create are a response to time spent in the woods. My depiction of these attributes is generally achieved through manipulation of wheel thrown vessels – by altering the shapes and adding a multitude of textures to the surfaces. My most recent explorations have moved from the wheel to hand-built and assembled sculptures using colored porcelain.

My work has consistently shown movement and texture. Each piece becomes an impression of the experience, not a replication but an interpretation.

The message remains that what we often look at, we do not truly see. Seeing takes time. Feeling takes even longer. My work is meant to pull the viewer into a moment. Stop and observe. To bring them to edge of a beach, watching waves crash against the shore or rocks, or on the banks of a river, feeling it rush past in its organized frenzy of energy. I invite the viewer to experience the simultaneous movement and stillness, just for a moment.
