I have been creating Colored Porcelain Nerikome Artwork since 1991.

I have always been intrigued by patterns whether they are natural in the environment or cultural. I am inspired by the incredible variety of patterns I see during my travels, since every Nation has its own ideas of color harmony and pattern arrangement. The wild freedom of one culture is as enticing as the strict symmetry of another.

I love the challenge of placing complicated, vibrant free form patterns within a strictly defined space. The pattern often feels as though it has only been contained for the briefest moment on the surface.

I choose to work with translucent porcelains since I am constantly investigating methods of contrasting the brilliant colors of my clay with the quiet beauty of bright white porcelain.

She learned the basics of her craft from Jane Peiser, a reknown Nerikome Artist. Since her introduction to this Art she has been refining her techniques and defining her own style.
Chris has been teaching her techniques for over 20 years. She has written numerous articles on the subject published in the USA and abroad.
She also served as President of the Potters Council and has juried several Art Shows, both virtual and real time.
She is the Administrator of the facebook group ‘Color/Colour in Clay’ which focuses 100% on showcasing colored clay.
For the past several years she has focused on experimentation to discover and adapt new techniques to advance her Art.
