The human figure is the vehicle I use to express how I experience this journey of life. I often include elements from the natural world because it is such a source of comfort and joy for me. Many of my figures are quiet and introspective as I seek to express the inner life of the mind and spirit through a gaze, a posture or a gesture.
I build my figures from earthenware clay, using coil and slab techniques, firing them multiple times in an electric kiln as I add layers of engobes, oxides, underglazes and glazes until I achieve the desired effect.
