Artist Statement
I have always been an artist. My first customers were students on the school bus who paid me for my paper dolls. Over the years, I have worked in a variety of mediums, including printmaking, photography, jewelry, painting, fabric and photography. I now primarily work in clay. I like experimenting with my own glazes and different commercial underglazes and glazes to achieve bright, happy colors.
I believe that art can be complex, engaging, and finely crafted, while at the same time demonstrating a sense of humor and whimsy. One of the most rewarding compliments I can receive is to be told that I have created something that makes someone happy. Because much of my work is whimsical, people often find it accessible and are easily engaged. They understand that artwork can simultaneously be fun, while also well-crafted.
