Artist's Statement: I use color, form, line, volume, and space to create beauty. Total concentration of form, surface and the process of making is my goal through every step of my practice. Excitement comes from working at a larger scale. The physicality of the material awakens my body. The organic imagery that I apply to the surface is playful; a bend here, a curve there, a push to make it complete. It is impossible to recreate nature's beauty, but within my vessels there may be a glimpse, even if for only a second, leading to the allusion of our natural world.
