POTTERY and ART
In Maine in the 70's, I ran a working pottery studio, gallery, and pottery apprentice training program. After moving to Raleigh, NC, at the turn of the century, fulled by creative desire, I launched into both the art and the pottery.
POTTERY - With the pottery, I find deep satisfaction in watching the raw clay magically take form under my hands. Then using altered form, carved line, and surface design, I integrate design with the functionality of usable wares. Then out of the kiln – the test – which pieces have been touched with a magic all their own?
CERAMIC & FINE ART JEWELRY - And now the integration of pottery and art with the new line of handcrafted Ceramic and Fine Art jewelry - each piece a unique work of art.
ART - With the abstract and representative abstract paintings, I listen to the inner inspiration that directs each brush stroke corralling free form, flow, and the mingling of color to capture a mood and please the senses. My goal in painting is JOY. Hopefully, with my work, I can bring joy and delight to others.
