People throughout history have always made and used pottery, with each tradition reflecting its culture and interpreting its environment with unique shapes, iconic graphics and visual imagery.
Having lived overseas for most of my life, I have been fascinated and inspired by those graphics and images, and by the broader question of how we interact with and interpret the visual information we receive from our environment.
My work often reflects my life in the woods on the coast of Maine. I’m inspired by the controlled chaos of the natural world: movement in the air, on the ground and in the water. I seek to find and capture nostalgia and humor in both the natural and human worlds. And I love making pots that people can use every day with a smile!.
