Clay is an essential part of my daily life; I am either working with it of thinking about it. It is a medium that continues to amaze me, providing me with new ideas and waves of creative energy. I primarily work with slabs of clay, focusing on form and surface treatment. Functionality plays a major role in my work these days. I enjoy adding texture, experimenting with colorful slips, transfers, and whimsical ideas. I often combine multiple design methods on work to give pieces a sense of depth and interest.
