My designs blend historical tradition with nature’s forms. When those influences harmonize, the work radiates a timeless presence that offers sustenance and pleasure.

The ceramic vessels I make celebrate the earth they are made of. In landscape and architectural settings they elevate spaces into places of significance and sanctuary. Large scale inspires contemplation and conveys their stature as sculptures.

 
 

I am drawn to good large pots by their animate presence. As physical objects they evoke a visceral response in viewers and impart new significance to the spaces they occupy. As metaphors, their forms suggest nourishment, gestation, and abundance, as well as the sensuousness of human and animal bodies.
