I make art because it provides an avenue for me to use my hands to create something unique.  I enjoy the feel of the clay and finding new ways to address the surface of the clay, and combine unusual, contrasting elements.

I enjoy using clay, and utilizing both the pottery wheel and hand-building methods to make art.  This allows me to produce artwork using various approaches.

Art is significant to me because it connects me to my students. Making art allows me to work on the same plane as my students, and provide a positive example of it's importance in our school and their education.

Wheel-thrown, high fire clay with slip transfer and Shino glaze

I like the surface treatment of this work. One thing that I do not like is that the work looks like it could balances better. If I were to make it again, I would make the walls of the teabowl straight to make a better balance.

Slab-built and Wheel-thrown, low fire clay with underglazes and slip transfer.

I like the contrast of the wheel-thrown parts of this sculpture with the flat parts of the slab-built base. I do not like the fact that this piece is hard to transport and display. If I were to make this piece again, I would like to add more wheel-thrown parts to the top of the sculpture.
