Artist Statement

I have been interested in clay since I
was a child. The plastic qualities of clay,
the softness, make it easy to mold into the shapes I desire. Then my pots and wall pieces are incised with nudes and other forms found in Louisiana's nature.

The clay is used as a canvas for the underglazes and glazes. The works are
raku fired, or multiple fired in an electric kiln. Then, they become part of me.
