“I believe in form and function, craft
and industry, which all need to be considered to create a balance in beauty. Knowing beauty is just a perception it
allows me to use clay as a natural vehicle to transport my ideas. My ideas are
influenced by my past and my present surroundings. I find acceptance that each
idea will not be successful and believe if I continue the process of creating,
my perception of success will change. I find wood firing to be the most
efficient artistic tool in finishing my work.”
