Artist Statement

A long studio career has given my life continuity: an intimate relationship with creativity. At this point, clay and I are dear, old friends. My experience in the studio is a conversation; a collaboration with something unseen, but felt and understood. I have found myself shape-shifting a number of times. In the earlier years I felt quite comfortable claiming the title of "Potter" or "Thrower". But as time went by, the wheel became no more important than a rolling pin... a tool to help me bring forth an idea. And pots yielded space to explore sculpture. In recent years, labels have become harder to assign. They seem too confining: "Potter", "Sculptor", Painter, "Storyteller"… I leave it to the viewer and the lens of time to decide. I am in service to bringing persistent ideas into form.
