Artist Statement
I have been a potter and a naturalist for the past 45 years. My love of nature has inspired pottery surfaces that reflect my garden and the surrounding landscape. Developing an embossing process that creates three‑dimensional relief, along with hand-building forms from slabs of clay, has allowed me to explore the depth of my ideas.
Moments in nature are fleeting and ever‑changing. It is my hope that my pots capture some of that beauty.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
