In a year of change and loss it feels good to go back to the simple but elegant forms and glazes that I started my clay career with. I work primarily in clay, creating nature inspired ceramic sculptures. I take pleasure in pinching, coiling, slab building and throwing diverse clay bodies, making use of various glazes and firing techniques to get unexpected organic forms and surfaces. The diversity of nature fascinates me, and I strive to mirror that variety in my work. Being attentive to shape, space and color strengthens my rapport with the world around me. Bringing mindfulness and careful observation to my surroundings helps me to find a serene oasis in my daily existence.
