I am a functional potter. In my work I strive for qualities of simplicity, honesty and a sense of fluidity. When making my pots, I depend on intuition and feeling, rather than on conceptual ideas and analysis. Natural and organic objects, along with the varied and rich traditions of ceramics, are the main influences on my work. I have a very classical approach to clay, even when combining and altering forms.

During the last ten years,  I have had the opportunity to put my work in a wood fired Anagama kiln. I feel my forms have been enhanced and visually strengthened by the warm colors of the ash deposits and the textures and patterns created by the mark of the fire. This natural process allows the viewer to share my experience of working with clay, from the moment my hands shape and form the clay, leaving my mark, to the fluidity of the flames that leave their impression on the surface of the pot forever.
