My artwork is a passion I grew into out of my passion for nature and all things earthy. One doesn't get much more down to earth than mud. I love the feel of the wet clay in my hands, and the organic way it forms into pieces that are pleasing to the eye. My personal favorites are pieces that create themselves, that have an energy all their own. Like walking in the woods, I choose a path that appeals to me at the time and follow it through, more as an appreciative spectator than creator, to it’s natural conclusion – often a bowl or a plate, sometimes an unexpected sculptural piece. Having spent years viewing nature through the macro-lens of a camera, I have an acute sense of the beauty to be found in our local flora, which I often incorporate in original form or as stamps into my work. Most of my pieces are functional, and many of them serve dually as wall art or sculpture in the homes of patrons with an appreciation for our natural environment.
