"I strive to explore new forms and glazes in stoneware pottery...Because stoneware pottery can be vitreous without a glaze, this allows me the latitude to create more aggressive shapes and carvings.
This results in the ability to make pots that have aesthetic curves and textures. Also, the glazes I am currently working with will react to the differences in the shape and texture of the pot. As a result each pot has unique variations in both color and texture giving my pottery a one of a kind look."
