“I may start with a very specific idea or image to interpret/make three-dimensional. Or some invention of process may be what motivates me. Each stage of clay, from soft to firm to hard, rough, smooth, shiny, etc., requires its own methods and discipline. Starting a work and carrying it through all the stages, hoping it will make it through the firings, is both exciting and challenging. Maybe something good that I hadn’t quite expected will happen–it’s never completely predictable.”
*Artist featured in 2024 Art Passages exhibition at the County Administration Building in Martinez, California.
