Narrative sculpture is my true passion in clay; however, functional pots are my first love and I always find time to make them. My pots help me unwind and have a little fun in the studio. They come together faster than my sculptures do and provide a canvas for playful, animated drawings of the wild and domestic animals living in our neighborhood. As I go to my cupboard for a cup each morning, I know that someone out there is finding one of my cups, filling it with coffee or tea, and enjoying a gift from my home and my hands.
