The Adventure begins...

I am a potter, not a sculptor. I shape the clay around with my hands, my approach is spontaneous, lyrical, and whimsically transforming soft clay into a form that enriches my creativity as each piece is a "one of a kind" artwork.

The ease with which my hands effortlessly manipulate soft clay into ridges of flowing form is enhance through the cutting of grooves into its surface, curving and flexing...

... around the shape I am creating are the results of interpretation that captures the light, textures and colors of Mother Nature...

Echoing images that reflect timelessness from the distant past instilled with the artist's fresh point of view.

My working with clay is not so much a medium for expressing myself as an artist, as it is one for discovering.

My artistic creations from clay incorporated the exciting elements of both chance and surprise that will intrigue anyone.

My creations are about me,
what I like and
what I care about...
my expression!

In search of my soul

I prefers to work with clay because the soft spinning sound of the pottery wheel allows my mind to wander and create images that are peculiar to my own experiences.

"There's something beautiful about pottery and my ceramic art piece--frozen sense of time and the expression it projects."

Unlike most other art forms, pottery is an expression of self. It's a vehicle that allows me to graphically depict my innermost thoughts and emotions and I enjoy the idea of people trying to interpret my work on their own terms."

All I know is that my pottery pieces will have elements of modernism that take on a positive view of imagery.

As an artistic potter, I am willing to experiment, and mark with my own pottery styles.

At this stage, I have a chest full of ideas. I'm nervous, anxious, and yet strangely enthusiastic about what the future holds for my ceramic works of art.

But like most ceramic artists, I am still searching for my artistic soul--to me, its a life-long quest. But for the present, I shall let my creative vision spark my dreams and inspiration.
