The first question people ask me is, “How did you become interested in clay?”  I always respond with, “Do you have a couple of hours to listen?”  I was first a painter and printmaker and did not discover clay until graduate school.  Once I touched clay, I was hooked for life.  I especially liked the physicality and spontaneity of working with clay and I continue to find it always challenging and intriguing.  My major goal when working in clay is to make a personal statement and let the pieces evolve, creating a marriage between the forms and the glazes.  This is a difficult task, and my work has been influenced by many generations of potters.  However, I have spent much time developing a forms, glazes, decorating slips, and decorating techniques that are uniquely my own.  I am very excited about the pieces I produce and enjoy it very much when others like them as much as I do.
