Artist’s Statement

I CONSIDER MY POTTERY as everyday pieces. My goal is to form practical pottery where they can be used as daily wares.

I try to create all pieces with the user in mind. Hopefully, a regular day is a little more special while using my pottery.

My motivations are from nature, simple shapes and forms. Subtle lines or accents are enough to finish the shape.

I make teapots, cups, plates, bowls and vases. Occasionally, I experiment with shapes and forms leaving room for growth and progress.
