Artist's Statement: My thrown, carved and altered porcelain is both functional and decorative. I have studied techniques and styles of Korean, Chinese & Japanese ceramics as well as early American art pottery. My pottery is influenced by those bodies of work but is distinct from them. The techniques, glazes and decorative motifs are different and at the same time grow from those traditions. My aim is to produce intimate works that can be held in the hands and which brings beauty to the user's environment and small moments of communication between the user and myself.
