ABOUT

As a ceramic artist, I work with clay slabs often combining different clay bodies of different colors. These slabs I make and stretch by hand usually on an outdoor surface. I let these slabs of combined clays guide me when executing my ideas seeing where this leads me.  It feels like a partnership, a form of dialog between the media and my creative efforts. After bisque firing, I use solutions of Gertsley Borate  to bring out the clays inherent colors and textures that give the ceramic sculptures their unique voice.
