A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "My work is wheel-thrown, one of a kind, functional and decorative ceramics. It is red clay, fired to cone 5 in oxidation, and decorated with slips and glazes using brushwork, stencils, screen-printing, decal image transfer and gold luster. I create the images I use on my work in Photoshop and use the digital image to create physical stencils, decals and silkscreens I use with colored slips, and to print laser decals for image transfer."
