I have lived in the Hudson Valley since 1994. After many years as a painter
and arts administrator in New York City, I became more fully involved in
ceramics. The natural beauty of this area is a strong inspiration in my work.
Frequently in my stoneware landscapes, I conceive of the clay slabs as a
canvas. With the many glazes I make and use, I seek to blur the distinction
between painting and ceramics. Other wall pieces, made with smaller
handmade tiles, reflect an exploration of subtleties inherent in the color and
texture of this technique. This is created when small damp tiles are pressed
into powdered colored porcelain, fired to stoneware and formed into
compositions.
My work on the potter’s wheel is always a pleasure for me. I try new shapes and
finishes in pieces which are functional and hopefully esthetically pleasing as
well. My decorative pottery frequently combines wheel thrown and handbuilt
techniques in order to create more expressive forms.
Many aspects of working in clay continue to intrigue me, especially those
dealing with form, color and texture. I believe I bring a painter’s eye to my work,
thus blending the two disciplines.
