Artist Statement

​

I’m interested in how the use of imagery and pattern can connect a person to a piece of pottery. While designing my work, I look to home décor themes; Eclectic, Bohemian, Mid-century and Contemporary styles to help inform my ideas about making pottery for the home.

I've chosen to throw with dark-brown stoneware because it’s equally rich with or without glaze, allowing me to create pattern in unglazed areas. Using glaze resist techniques, I create layers of color and pattern on each surface. I'm partial to botanical and geometric patterns, high-gloss transparent glazes, jewel tones, metallics, bare clay and layers. I often integrate these design essentials into my work. A piece is successful when the glaze fluctuates effortlessly throughout the form.
