| Over a span of more than 30 years as a potter my work has
changed and evolved through many styles. I have been inspired
by the ancient Mayan Indian civilization and their hieroglyphics,
the skill and beauty of Chinese brush painting, the serenity
of Japanese landscaping and the abundance of my own flower
and vegetable gardens. Underlying all these influences is
my deep love for the natural world. |

| The clays I use are both porcelain and stoneware.
Some of my work is wheel-thrown and some is slab-built. Years
of experimentation have yielded many hues of color in my glazes
which I layer, glaze on glaze, to create my painted porcelain
platters, bowls and vases. For the vegetable sculptures I
produce my own molds. For my leaf plates, I use real leaves
which I imprint on a moist clay slab. |

| Being practical in nature, I like to create beauty while
maintaining function. Most of my pottery is therefore functional.
It is food-safe and can be used in the dishwasher and microwave
oven. It is meant to be enjoyed everyday, whether it is on
the table, on a shelf or on the wall.
