ARTIST STATEMENT
As far back as I can remember; I’ve wanted to throw clay on the wheel. My formal education trained me as a nurse, and the garment industry schooled me in business. It wasn’t until I worked in a restaurant kitchen that I found the sense of adventure necessary for clay, and an entrée into a production porcelain studio. There, I worked in exchange for studio space and learned by trail and error. My inspirations come from ancient ceramics and my travels, as well as life in New York City.
In my work, I layer texture over texture, creating and obliterating images, which are found unexpectedly during use. Multi step glazing technique enhances the contrast of tranquil interior, with rough exterior.
Each piece is unique, and made of porcelain, which is microwave and dishwasher safe.
