ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
Throughout
my artistic career, I have drawn inspiration and ideas
from my surroundings and experiences. My works have
reflected the organic aspects of nature, the everchanging
weather, and the art of dancing. Form and surface are
woven together, creating an endless line of movement.
This carries the eye of the viewer, and continually
provokes curiosity. In the past years, the main body
of my work has been handbuilt, though I continue to
wheel throw and incorporate wheel thrown elements in
my forms. Handbuilding gives a sense of freedom and
possibility. The asymmetrical aspect brings with it
the eternal challenge: balance, harmony, beauty.
