Artist Statement

 

 

I make functional stoneware pottery for everyday use that is organically shaped and comfortable to hold. My pots are unique in form and are created by combining throwing and hand building techniques. The human body is a source of inspiration for my work and my pottery references round bellies, folding flesh, or the curve of a hip.
