My work is made with porcelain and stoneware and is organic in nature. To achieve these forms I throw pieces on the potter's wheel and then alter them while they are still very soft. Some are decorated with clay "paint" called slip, some are glazed. To enhance these forms, I fire them in my salt kiln which produces a rich depth of surface. I love making functional forms: bowls, vases, bottles and plates. I like knowing that someone enjoys their morning coffee from one of my mugs!
The garden ornaments are my latest work. I am an avid gardener and have always enjoyed decorating my garden just as I do my home. The birds are painted with designs based on the head-markings of actual birds. The salt-fired surface of these pieces is especially at home in the landscape.
