My early training in ceramics was in functional pottery on the potter’s wheel with traditional gas and electric kiln firing. I am increasingly drawn to hand built ceramics and sculpture, although the wheel and functional pottery is still a part of my practice. Most recently I have been open pit firing my sculptural work which produces a beautiful smoke-like patina. I create ceramics here in the Valley and also on the East Coast on Nantucket Island. I am influenced by nature , the ocean and found objects.
