                                 Artist Statement

"I use the human form to tell stories in clay. My pieces are psychological self-portraits, visual diaries and vessels for my experiences and emotions. Clay has been a constant companion in uncertain times. Shifting small amounts of material with my fingers and seeing a presence suddenly emerge is exhilarating. While I don’t intend to make likenesses I do want to create a sense of real identity in my pieces; I know I’m getting somewhere once a face is developed enough that I apologize if I bump into it."
