clay is possibility and potential,
becoming something beautiful or functional,
starting with an idea and becoming something that will stand the test of time.

below the surface
Here is another piece in my water collection, inspired by the warm water of the tropics and that particular shade of clear water that speaks to coral reefs and colorful fish lurking below the surface. The 10 inch frame for this piece was thrown on a pottery wheel....
new love
New love is everything. Its is all encompassing explosion. It is sparkles blended with cozy comfort and passion. It is a tiny and precious thing that wraps you in blissful warmth. It is experiencing the world through a whole new filter while floating 6 inches above...
sweater weather

Pottery allows me to put something of myself out into the world. As an introvert, I find this is the best way of expressing myself. I’ve been inspired greatly by my parents, both creative in their own ways. I was constantly encouraged to share my creativity with others.
Artist, artisan, handcrafter, craftsman, each word evokes a different sentiment and a different feeling. Quality differences, intentional differences, interpretational differences. I’m not sure I would consider myself an artist. I’m not a crafter either. I’m a potter. However, now that I’m including other materials, even potter feels limiting. When you see yourself differently, you act, think and behave differently.
It’s a compulsion for me at this point. I have ideas – many ideas – and I am driven to make each of them a reality.
