I am a social being by nature, and a desire for human connection keeps me endlessly

fascinated with creating functional pots that people can use in their daily lives. All of my

gazes are food safe. My techniques include both wheel throwing and hand building;

sometimes I alter thrown pieces, or use a combination of techniques on one piece.

 

As a nurse and a midwife, I have lived and worked in many countries all over the world.

These experiences have influenced me deeply. My artistic vision strives to express the universality of our human condition: our shared longings, struggles and passions, and the roots of our happiness. I use imagery, colors, shapes and design elements that evoke a universal response and transcend national and cultural barriers. I am not grounded in any one artistic tradition, but in many.

 

I hunger to find meaning in life. For this reason I incorporate spiritual elements into the design of my pots. My concept of spirituality is eclectic. In my decoration I sometimes use animal, bird, fish and plant imagery to reference the spiritual connections in our lives. My glaze palette include blues like the sky and water, greens from the plant world, whites like clouds and snow, and browns and grays like the earth, rocks and woods.
