My goal as a potter is to create functional, well designed pieces that are inviting to use in everyday life, yet are unique, one-of-a-kind originals that the purchasers will be proud to display in their homes and collections.

I am inspired by pottery from ancient civilizations and I contemplate how the pots fit into the framework of their lives.  I  am especially excited if I can identify fingermarks left by the maker generations ago.

I am proud to continue that craft in this era of mass production, and I strive to leave an imprint of my own touch or gesture in the clay in the making process.

For me, the search for harmony of form, color and function is an ongoing journey and my work is continually evolving.
