Artist Statement

Today most things we touch and use are mass produced.  We yearn for things that are unique and hand made.  Such things have a warmth and intimacy that is rare.  My pottery is unique and personal adding to the experience of everyday life.  The clay naturally holds the heat of coffee or the coolness of ice cream.  I strive to craft each piece expertly while leaving traces of the human touch.  Each piece is used to be touched, used, enjoyed.  Each piece is made to call to you to share the experience again and again leaving those mass produced dishes lonely and despondent!
