I have drawn as long as I can remember - detailed drawings of real and imaginary objects, stories and situations. Like so many ceramicists, my first serious encounter with clay was an epiphany, and the beginning of a lifelong love affair. Ever since realizing clay's almost limitless potential for surface, from the minimal to the dense and intense, I have striven to marry image and form, taking my inspiration from life's experiences big and small, and from random wandering thoughts.
