Artist Statement
My work is both functional and decorative, bringing together my love of pottery form and a passion for pattern and color. The work elicits conversation between painting, ethnographic material, fabric design and nature. My pots are hand built of red earthenware with underglaze and glaze.
*Teapots that are purchased will remain on display in the gallery for the duration of the exhibition, through September 14, 2026.
After the show closes, teapots will be carefully packed and shipped by September 28, or they may be picked up at the gallery.
