About the Artist
Personal Statement
I believe my work reflects the fundamental optimism and joy which I enter into life.
Working with clay focuses on the fundamentals - earth, water, air, fire - and parallels life which is exciting, frustrating, mysterious - an adventure.
Like the clay we are stretched and pulled and are exposed to and challenged by unpredictability.
