I loved mud pies as a kid and it stuck!  Have worked in ceramics since the early 70’s, have participated in several arts and craft shows, displayed at the Burien Art Gallery, Sea-Tac Airport teapot display, Third Runaway Potters Shoes with other studio artists and at Crow Valley Pottery.

Organic combined with a whimsical feel are the inspirations behind my one of a kind handbuilt pottery pieces.  Warm earthy colors along with interesting textures complete most of my work. The garden pieces, fruits, veggies, boxes, and other items invite you to decorate indoors or outside.

I am inspired by abstract Artists, painters like Claude Monet or Jackson Pollock create splashes of color. There images stimulate the imagination, mood and a narrative of a story. Creating a picture on a cylinder gives 360 degree of canvas to work with, allowing for a loop of a continuous story. My subjects are abstract, like sun-rise, sun-sets, seascapes and landscapes. There is something intriguing about a canvas with depth and distance, and a wrap-around look.

The vessel quality is my first consideration, I enjoy various forms and shapes of vessels with the idea of creating a sizable canvas. My color palette varies with inspiration, mood, and subjects colors; landscape, seascape, sunset and so on. I use slips and under-glazes for the colors, and the banishing treatment allows the finished surface to be glaze free but tactility smooth. I use a liner glaze to ascent the piece and insure it is a usable functioning vessel. Truly I strive to create a piece that interacts with the viewer, inspires interest, and is a finished quality piece of work!

My current body of work is about imagination. I am interested in creating a surface that uses vivid color, marbling and burnishing to create depth. By allowing the viewer to imagine their own story about the vessel, it give them a personal connection.
