Working in clay is an important part of how I give of myself. Presenting the tangible and useable as a way of relating to, and offering of myself. I strive to create a sense of joy and playfulness in my work. Work that fulfills an industrial void within and offsets the expectations of being woman, wife and mother. I strive to make my pieces approachable and appealing, free from any fear of contradiction. I make pots because of their tangibility, and usefulness, people take them in, live with, and around them. A loved piece becomes part of a life, emblematic of a period or place. Items hold memory, and beloved items--a child's teddy bear, a hand-me-down quilt, a favorite coffee mug--hold memories of love and security in the memories they evoke.
