Artist Statement

My main objective as a ceramic artist is to create work that is both personal and stimulating enough to draw the viewer in for a closer look. The importance of selecting ceramics as my vehicle for a narrative approach is mainly due to its natural affinity. Ceramics allows me a method of documenting events and experiences that in later years provides a personal story retold with a personal voice. 

My Process

My work is both thrown on the potter’s wheel and hand-built, processes that provide me with a high degree of control and consequently, a great deal of enjoyment. I use white earthenware or porcelain clay. This offers me a white, smooth background to carry the surface decoration. Each work is decorated with all-ceramic mediums. I am a purist and I enjoy the challenge to stay true to the art and work out solutions to technical problems that may arise. Each work is decorated with airbrushed colored underglazes applied to the bisque ware and then sprayed with a thin coat of clear glaze before being fired in an oxidizing atmosphere; some are re-fired with silk-screened decals and lusters.
