As a potter, I am drawn to the subtle details I observe in nature, such as a leaf connecting to its stem, the variation in ripples of water, or the tones of filtered light.  This interplay between repetition and variation through the use of line, texture and depth continually brings new discoveries to my work in clay.  Firing my wheel thrown and altered stoneware and porcelain in a wood and soda kiln further enhances these variations within the textured surfaces.  Because of my interest in the environment and sustainability, I use waste wood to fire my pots in the kiln, and I strive to bring this awareness of conservation into my work and my lifestyle everywhere I can.
