My ceramic work consists of hand built and thrown bowls, plates, vases and cups. Surface tension, texture and color are important aspects of my work. I am strongly influenced by far eastern ceramics, most notably Chinese and Japanese. This has drawn my interest to wood fire and its atmospheric magic. For many years, I had access to a wood kiln, but now I work out of my home studio and fire in a small soda kiln to cone 6. Whatever the firing method used, I am always fascinated by surfaces.
