I am fascinated by the way tiny nuances of gesture create personality – even in a shape with no ears, eyes, nose or even proper feet.  Starting from a box or a sphere or, quite honestly, a sad little form that shows no hope of fulfilling its own destiny, I poke and prod and layer and prune my clay pieces until each one begins to emerge as its own entity.  A slump here.  A twist there.  How about some arms?  And suddenly a new individual is crying or laughing or getting snippy right there on my table.  Out of chaos comes … character.

Come explore my studio: cups, sculptures, bowls, yard art — all with something to say.
