Pinecones, berries, oak leaves, irises, fish and deer often inspire my functional porcelain pottery. One of my favorite pieces, the antler bowl, has a deer antler for a handle and altered or textured details.

I fell in love with clay forty years ago. However I’m still amazed at the transformation of a simple ball of wet clay into a beautiful, hand-crafted vessel. It is very rewarding to be involved in the whole process: to design, wedge, throw, trim, glaze and fire. My affordable pottery is meant to be used; to be sipped from, served from and enjoyed.
