Artist's Statement
My influences come from nature. I strive to achieve the interplay of colour and texture that I find in marble, sand, frost, metal, oatmeal, and wood. I constantly experiment with the formulation and blending of glazes and the impact of firing temperature.
I use both porcelain and stoneware clays as the “canvas” for my glazes. Pottery is creation. It’s something from nothing. It’s unstructured. It’s freedom. It’s challenge. Why do I do it? For the thrill of opening the kiln and discovering what’s been forged in the fire.
