Artist Statement
I create pots that are intended to bring joy to the small moments in life. A pot of tea elevates a moment away from work. Generous bowls serve up a stew, making for a functional centerpiece at the table. Petite bud vases add a bit of elegance to a workspace. My work is wood fired in a train kiln. The firing process takes my simple forms and does a lovely job of doing the rest - trapping carbon on the surface, highlighting the iron present in the clay, and pooling natural glaze in a crevice. The result is earthy and humble.
