Artist Statement
From the moment I felt clay in my hands, I knew this was going to be a lifetime passion.
I have been working in porcelain almost exclusively since the early 2000’s.
I am drawn to color and texture, mixing glazes together and experimenting with form and sculpture.
I use different elements like wood, sand, found materials, to compliment my differently shaped vessels.
Most of my pottery is functional; I like the feel of a cup in my hand,
the shape of a vase with flowers draping over the rim. A platter filled with food. Useful beauty.
I started at the 92nd Street Y, and have had the privilege of being awarded "Best in ceramics" in our annual Ceramic sale.
I have participated in workshops in Italy, Jamaica, and in the Hamptons at the clay art guild in Watermill, New York.
Prior to my work with clay, I represented a still-life photographer for 15 years, before studying photography at ICP.
