Artist Statement
The act of art making involves an innate spirituality that enables me to address the cycle of life and death. As a ceramic artist, my work is influenced by qualities observed in nature: the negative space created by naked branches in winter, the path traced by insects in a hollow log, or fossils found in the ground. The repetitions of curvilinear forms create a lively visual field that evokes life energy. In my artwork, traces of a history are evident, but the subtler details of a forgotten past entice discovery.
