We do have our struggles at times. The clay can have it’s own opinions about the way our creative venture will go and the personality of the offspring of this union.

I explore themes of transformation, layers of personality, and the relationship with self and others.  I investigate the human body as container, not closed off from its environment, but an open vessel for life that flows through us, in relationship to all that is.

I am also interested in the magical aspects of creation, creating art as talisman. Creation in conjunction with intention increases the resonance of a dream or desire in the physical world.   Playing with clay, I can dream while awake, and I am very grateful to have this relationship.

Clay is a good teacher and generous with feedback. Often, I discover my true feelings about a situation, relationship or idea when I explore it in clay. Sometimes surprising emotions surface. I can always tell how much truth I’ve allowed to show by how much life glows through the resulting piece.
