ARTIST’S STATEMENT
All my forms are hand-built sculptural vessels. The technique used to create my relief designs involves building up clay slip, layer upon layer, until the desired thickness is achieved. Each piece is hand-glazed with raku glazes and/or commercial underglazes.
I find inspiration in the flora and fauna of Hawaii, as well as from legends, folktales and mythology of Hawaiian and Asian cultures. I enjoy the raku process because it not only adds an unpredictable nature to the subject matter of my forms, but also provides each piece with a unique earthy finish.
In addition to doing my artwork, I teach adult ceramics classes at the Linekona Art Center, located at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.
