I have been a studio artist for more than thirty years, making both sculpture and functional pottery. In recent years I have concentrated on pots, making them slowly and building up the surface with multiple layers of slips and glazes.

Making pots enables me to participate in an ancient human conversation through the work of my hands. My forms come out of my own ideas about food, history, and the body, but it gratifies me that they go on to lead lives of their own: to inhabit other spaces, fit other hands, and fulfill other ideas of the useful and the beautiful.
