The foundation of my work is motivated by everyday life and the people I encounter, as well as objects I am drawn to through their form or function. As a means to find my own personal balance, My work covers the spectrum through the creation of functional work that varies between tight, simple forms to loose and organic-looking forms.
I frequently use contrast as a design element, whether it be contrasting elements in the design of the form or contrast of the form to how it is glazed and/or fired. I prefer all my pieces to be finished in earth tones, sometimes adding dark slips and stains to strengthen the effect.
