About Me

I have been working in clay for more than 30 years. The work has evolved from purely utilitarian porcelain thrown on the wheel to handbuilt clay for the wall and table. Each stage of development has prepared me for the next. This exploration of color and surface treatment keeps me walking into my studio every day.

I don't use many tools, my work is simple and methods uncomplicated. I use a very groggy stoneware that accommodates multiple firings. Once in awhile I may sneak some porcelain in my making! I layer many slips, I scrape, cut, add to the piece before it heads to the kiln.

This work refers to the debris resulting from nature's robbing of coastal communities. The surfaces are born of these natural relics. With chemicals and heat I'm able to pay homage to these worn and battled pieces of human systems.
