Description

“My work expresses an image of the natural world transformed in clay and glaze to tangible sculpture that reflects my style and vision. My creative life is a composite formed by the life I have lived with fragments of memories, excursions north coloring the visions I have for my work and plans for the future. The power of the human spirit is mirrored in my representation of the power of water, rocks and growth. Each new piece injects fuel into my creative life. The impetus to create art full time is my desire to make life precious for both myself and those who engage in my work.”
