Artist Statement

As a designer I create an object that is exciting to see, use, and touch. I design for both beauty and utility because I want this work to be more than symbolic. This work is an expression of optimism; a belief that the objects in our home can enrich us in many ways. My goals are visual, tactile, and functional: stimulating the eye, pleasing the hand, and working well, while warming the soul.

At right are the first images of a new direction in my work. In addition to adding color and texture with glazing and slip trailing, I am now using a new clay body, a very translucent porcelain. I am intrigued with its light conducting quality. Some of the new pieces are designed to enhance the light's passage, while others emphasize form and texture. The Black and White designs of my earlier work are also finding new expressions with the new materials and techniques.

Please accept this invitation to the just opened, brightly lit Studio Gallery, only a mile from Main Street in Newark, please come and see the exciting new work.
