Each form has a beaming character which shines on the ones to come.  Chance is the moving force that directly influenced the evolution of my work.  From the earliest one until now, there is a lineage that connects them.  The playful interaction between the form creates a fixed memory of its soul.  I try to be there in that moment and let the clay influence me.

I worked as a baker for several years and began making pottery in 1977.  The work ethic and integrity of a baker directly influenced who I am as a potter.  A baker creates not just from a recipe, but from all the senses.  The consistent repetition requires a daily pride in one’s work.  The cycle of beginning again anew and the chance for something new to happen is why I am a potter-to bake fresh each day.
