Artist Statement

There is nothing like the smell, texture and moistness of clay in one’s hands…It is sumptuous! It is such a sensuous experience. I have been playing with it for years and there is never any end to what it teaches me and boundless avenues one can explore with it. I am getting ready to launch an urn series in 2009 for commercial production which will consist of both low fire, painted “green”  vessels that will degrade once buried and high fired glazed pieces for home or mausoleum installations. After launch I will still afford to languish in creating my altars and shrines and/or wherever my hands and muses take me. Such a lovely journey this is.
