Artist Statement:


My work is a portal into the ever-changing natural world of the Chesapeake Bay waterfront. I use a range of surface techniques – mishima, carving, sgraffito, slip-trailing – to interpret different species of birds, fish, insects, and plants on functional and sculptural porcelain forms. I hope to bring to the user/viewer an awareness and appreciation of the variety of interdependent life that surrounds us.
