My work is wheel thrown, altered, carved and cut out to reveal both positive and negative form and space. To convey my sense of spirit and energy emanating from the piece to the viewer, I add  undulating lines and forms in the shape of coils, teardrops, flowers, fire, and clouds. In addition to the raised relief, I work at simulating brush strokes as if I were painting on canvas. 

As I work, I focus and try to visualize and then materialize the elements of tranquility and activity, weakness and strength, darkness and light, male and female. All these intermingled components give me the inspiration to work and continuously evolve. (Click on image for larger view.)
