Artist Statement:

Tactile rhythmic patterning and texture, incised, rutted, eroded; glaze breaks over sharp edges and pools within pockets. The dimensional textures transform into a type of braille, allowing a sensual knowledge through surface and design to create an intimate interaction, allowing beauty to be seen through the sense of touch. An unconscious sense of pleasure within your daily routine.
​
The uniqueness of my pottery comes from immense attention to detail and small surprises hidden within the form and surface. My carvings bring a sense of the organic natural world into clean and angular elements of design. The glaze allows for a rich, smooth texture for the clay body to shine through.
