I have lived among the woods of Western Massachusetts for almost twenty years, and
over that time I have tended a large and rather miraculous garden. Each day while walking to my studio
I am looking across the yard, seeing shapes and colors of every season. I find myself constantly
awestruck by that visual interplay of color, texture, pattern, and natural form. This experience
is ever changing, fleeting and unique.
As a potter I take great joy on creating a form, composing a
surface, juxtaposing those same elements, and rejoice in challenging my own artistic vision and technique.
Whether the surface becomes the wall of a vessel, the finial for a teapot cap, or the foot of a bowl,
I use the clay as a medium for expressing that uniqueness, attempting to capture and reflect a
particular moment in time.
Part of the true joy of creating functional art is in the handling
and daily interaction with a finished piece of pottery. It is my hope that each piece carries to you a
part of that joy, bringing it into your home and into your life!
