Artist statement
I began my work with clay in 1996 after participating in a community pottery class. Since then a curiosity and hobby has become a passion and full-time vocation.
I make pottery so that people can incorporate beauty into their daily living. While I’m working, my mind wanders to the new owners of my pots. They seem familiar to me even though we haven't met. I imagine how the piece will be received into their home, how it will be used, and how it will feel in the user’s hand. I carefully consider who will use the piece and what their lifestyle is. Is it a gift? Or will it become someone’s new favorite coffee mug?
I’m inspired by Mid-Century Modern design. I love the clean simple lines and the quirky shapes that make this era of ingenuity so unique and timeless. The element of the design that I find most challenging is creating something unique while maintaining its simplicity. I’ve learned that simple design is not simple to create. While my pots still must be pleasing to the eye and function well, they must also make a statement.
