My work ranges from full dinnerware sets to one of a kind art pieces. A
huge part of me goes into every pot I make. It begins with a lump of
white stoneware clay, which I value for its excellent thermal properties
for use in cookware. I use a wheel to throw parts, as well as an extruder
and slab roller. After the parts are made and trimmed, the assembly
creation begins, a time consuming affair that I enjoy the most.
I create high-definition functional pottery. My striking, beautiful, and
user friendly works invite you to explore, use, and enjoy them. While the
whimsical, lively qualities of the forms make them difficult to ignore. I
build each piece with functionality firmly in mind. Art you can use on a
daily basis. Pots with Pizzazz!
I like to think my pots and platters make sense in the lives of people who
use them. Handles, spouts, form, surfaces, and adornment; pieces and
parts that all add up to a whole, yet when combined have a greater effect.
They impart dignity and beauty to the presentation of food and to the
daily domestic rituals that are the substance of our lives.
