I have always made
functional pottery, but in recent years switched from working with low fire red
earthenware with colorful narrative imagery, to high fire stoneware, with non -
objective imagery. The highlight of this new work remains surface design,
enlivened with cobalt blue dots. I start
with clean elegant forms made on the potters wheel, and once bisque fired, I
paint each dot, one at a time on the piece. I like to play around with depth
and space on the forms in this work, and get lost in the details. I am inspired by the ephemeral properties of
fireworks, and actual photos of space.
