About Me

Introduction	I have been dabbling in the Arts since a very young age, but it was later in life that I began my career in Clay. I truly found herself in Clay. My favorite quote : “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off your Soul” Pablo Picasso
What I Love about Ceramics	Recently I have expanded my artistic expression by working with porcelain. The fluency of porcelain allows me to push the limits of Clay to a more transparent finish, which allows the light to shine through the pieces. When producing a piece, I try to consider its characteristics and how to harmonize the form with different surface decorations while considering how the piece can be altered. The embellished surfaces I enjoy creating, often begin by sketching, engraving, carving, pressing, and clay slip application, allowing glazes (when I use glazes) to pool in the textures, accentuating the depth of her forms. These designs draw attention to the surface of my work with flowing movement.
How I started with ceramics	While I have been dabbling in the Arts since a very young age, it was in my late 30’s that I began my career in Clay.
What inspires me	Mother Nature is my primary inspiration, along with people and life events.
What I'm working on at the moment	Currently I am working on gaining more experience with porcelain and creating a more designer series of works.
