“As a young girl I loved working with my hands and learned this love from watching my father, a sheet metal worker, who was the most patient person in the world, and who could fix or make anything. So it was only natural that once I touched clay, I would love working with this malleable material.
I have now been working with clay for over 40 years and still delight in and get excited by its versatility and tactility. For the past twenty-five years I have put most of my energy into hand building with clay. I find clay to be a limitless medium in which I am able to express and explore ideas. I love its tactile quality as well as its resiliency and strength.
The beautiful but simplistic forms of these saggar-fired pieces cry out for “something of interest” on the vessels themselves. For me, this “something of interest” is achieved in the visual texture, pattern and color produced by saggar-firing these vessels.”
