About Me

Introduction

I am Jennifer.  I am from Alabama.  I began with hand building.  I have recently began wheel throwing.  I love experimenting with new textures and designs.  I like to use lots of color with my designs.  I just want my art to put a smile on someone’s face!

What I Love about Ceramics

I love the connection with nature and it’s almost like meditation for me.  I just love seeing what I can come up with next and who it connects with.

How I started with ceramics

I had always wanted to do ceramics so I took my first class at age 47.  It was a beginners wheel throwing class.  Next was a Raku class and I’ve been hooked ever since!

What inspires me

People inspire me.  I usually have a person in mind and what I think they would like.  If I can connect with people around me then I can connect with others.  I love meeting other artists and seeing where their journeys go as well.  Always such a positive energy.

What I'm working on at the moment

At the moment I am working on design elements textures and color.  Take a traditional piece and add something unexpected.

My Artist Statement

Love what you do and do what you love ❤️.   Skill takes you so far… passion takes you the rest of the way.   I am quirky and it shows up in alot of my work.  Do what makes you happy.
