Many potters are designers. I am one of them. I think design is a wonderful foundation for ceramics; both disciplines share a focus on process, a need for problem-solving and produce a tangible, functional outcome. For those of us who began our profession before it became a digital process, clay offers another experience that feeds our creativity—the pleasurable act of making something with our hands.

All my work is in white clay—either porcelain or white stoneware. I like the way these clays feel and that they give me a blank canvas to work with. I enjoy approaching surface decoration like a visual design project. I explore rhythm, movement, and balance using slips, underglazes and rice paper transfers.
