Artist Statement:

I have always had a love for clay and when I discovered raku, I found my passion. The surprise and spontaneity of each firing is thrilling.

Primitive and ethnic art are especially interesting to me and influence the style of my work. It gives me a feeling of connecting with ancient ancestors.
