Fresh pots, new work:
Now in my 50th year as a potter,
I still relish the little-kid-at-Christmas
thrill of anticipation and discovery
with every kiln opening.
Experiments are the heart
of my work:
fresh combinations
of clays, textures, glazes,
and firing processes that
evolve into new series,
and then diving deep to
explore variations.
As a result,
every piece within each series
is a riff on a theme,
related yet unique.
Here are examples of current
works in progress:
Vases for Small Spaces:
Earth and Cloud Series
Small vases created on a kickwheel,
blending dark red clay and porcelain.
Fluid, swirling textures with a
color palette influenced by the
ever-changing nature of
forest and sky.

Wildscape series
Thrown on a kickwheel,
combining the earthiness of
dark red clay with the
luminosity of porcelain,
with textures and multi-layered
glazes inspired by winter in the
mountains: bare bones of trees
juxtaposed against mercurial skies.

Earthscape series
Inspired by mountain
skies and landscapes, these
small handbuilt porcelain
plates/wall pieces are deeply textured,
using handmade stamps to create
scenes of stars, trees, animals,
and tiny houses.
