Someone once told me how much he was enjoying the large bowl that was purchased from me saying, "It's like having a gazelle in my home instead of a turtle." That is my most favorite comment I have heard about my work and speaks to the value of hand made functional art. Functional pottery helps to create an atmosphere of warmth and generosity in a home. A person who brings pottery for use into the intimate environment of a home or workplace brings so much more than a cup for morning coffee or a bowl for soup. We invite a different system of value by choosing to have and use items that are made slowly, one at a time, with thoughtfulness and heartfelt purpose. And if we are very lucky, we can even end up with a "gazelle".
Here you will experience a collection of functional pottery from my home and beyond. You are invited to e-mail an image of my ceramic work in its rightful place...your home. I will post it on this page.
