Description of Work I use a white cone 6 stoneware and do both handbuilding and wheel throwing. To decorate my work, I use the mishima inlay technique and underglaze for color. The work is then fired in an electric kiln.

Artist Statement
As a ceramic artist, I am interested in functional forms using a combination of throwing and hand-building techniques. Function facilitates a very intimate connection between object and the user. My work, at its core, is about this intimate relationship. Food and the vessels used to contain it are an integral part of humanity. Whether it be through function, the way the user feels when holding a cup, mug, or bowl, or food served in special dishes at holidays or communal gatherings, there is a connection formed that is an integral part of the human experience.
Function is at the core of my work; however pattern, color and decoration are equally important. I enjoy using white porcelain-like stoneware. I use the mishima technique, drawing line in the clay. I cover the lines using a black underglaze. Once it has dried a bit, I use a soft natural sponge to gently wipe away the underglaze, revealing black lines. A bright palette of colors and patterns creates what I hope is an inviting and enjoyable object in which the user will cherish and use daily.
