ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I have been working in the field of ceramics since 1991. Porcelain clay is my preferred means of expression, using high-fire glazes and oxides. I draw my inspiration primarily from the areas of Asian design and landscape because of their tranquility and reverence for nature.

I like to refer to my vessels as "contemporary artifacts" that I hope will create a feeling of peaceful sanctuary within the viewer.
