I strive to create art through simple, robust, functional pots.  I create the forms quickly at the potters wheel, manipulating and altering them to emphasize the plasticity of the clay.  I apply multiple layers of colored slips, emphasizing the texture through surface crackle or curdling.  Finally, I apply wood ash glazes and overglaze stains to integrate form and surface. 

I want my pots to engage people where they live and to play a part in their savoring of life.  I make my pots to be part of people’s homes, celebrations and private moments.  My pots are directly about food and flowers, cooking and display.   For me, a successful pot is one that inspires the viewer to imagine serving a favorite recipe, displaying their garden’s blooms, or enjoying the pleasures of a quiet dinner at home. 

My goal is a rich, complex sensuality revealed through time and use. I make simple pots, with quiet but robust surfaces, and made in a scale meant to convey generosity.
