Artist's Statement: After 30 years of constantly working in clay, I think it is still experimentation that keeps me engaged. Form, color, subtractive, additive, construction method, firing method - there's so many variables to explore.

Lately, it's wood firing and the organic and abstract surfaces of the decoration by fire.
