Artist Statement on Material & Technique: "Wheelthrown and slab built pottery with each piece being unique and one of a kind. Different techniques are used to alter the pieces to ensure originality. Hand sculpting of a wheelthrown piece gives the pottery an organic and natural feel. Other pieces are carved into. The color palette consists of a wide variety from very vibrant glazes to soft subtle hues all of which are foodsafe and leadfree The pottery can best be described as usable art."
