I believe that I am a potter by chance, but a maker at my core. Through a series of circumstances I ended up in the ceramics studio, though I could have easily ended up a jeweler or furniture maker had a few minor things been different.

I am intensely connected to function and the joy that making and using handmade objects brings to me and others. I am deeply effected by acts of what Ellen Dissanayke calls “making special”.

I believe that through the ritual of “making special” one can connect with humankind and imbue the world with joy and beauty. It is from this perspective that I am trying to make meaningful, relevant, and contemporary pots while keeping in mind the world we live, in the year 2010.
