Artist’s Statement:

My work is influenced by my background as a studio ceramicist, my love of traditional and contemporary Japanese ceramics and mid century American sculpture, my extensive career experience as a professional designer, and my curiosity for serendipitous visual phenomenon in both natural and man made objects. I find that the smallest pebble or crumpled leaf can provide inspiration for nearly infinite creative exploration with forms and surfaces. I strive to absorb and truly see my surroundings, and then incorporate my observations into artwork that springs from my inner spirit.
