Artist's statement:
"I love making one-of-a-kind pieces, some functional, some sculptural. I use collected items and organic textures in my hand-built and wheel-thrown pieces. I make pieces as small as chopstick rests and as large as wall torsos. I've also been fusing found beach glass on small dishes, chopstick rests and mirrors. It astounds me to know that my pottery has found homes all over the world. My pieces are finished in an electric kiln, or Gordon Hutchens' Anagama wood-fired kiln. I also use a smoke-firing barrel.
I am constantly inspired by nature's shapes, colours, and textures; that perfect dance of birth and decay."
