Artist's Statement

As an artist, I have a passion to create. 

Whether it is to create a vase that serves as a vessel for the feel-good of flowers, a mug that holds your morning cup of coffee or plates for a homemade meal - I create handmade pottery intended to brighten everyday life, as it has done with mine …

six years ago, I was diagnosed with an "essential tremor" I thought would hinder my ability to create the art I wanted. And then there was ceramics - the type of art that doesn't require you to draw a straight line or paint inside the lines. When I'm sitting down at the potter's wheel, it's a rhythm that doesn’t get interrupted by my shaking. When I am making pottery, I find joy in the movement and passion for the process - inspired by the rhythms of everyday life and the unique symmetry found in nature - beginning and ending with a little bit of love. 

So, I present to you, clay made by me.  An imperfect artist, creating imperfect pieces made with love.
