All of my ceramic pieces are hand built of terra cotta or stoneware clay. Living and working in rural northeast Texas, my work reflects a love of nature and an appreciation of the beauty around us. Many of my vases are enhanced with imprints of native plants and flowers, and handpicked tree branches are used to form the handles of the clay baskets. A background in painting and drawing is reflected in many of my pieces, as I draw and paint directly on the clay.
My sculptural pieces include a series of abstracted horse vases and a series of carved, lidded vessels based on Jewish prayer boxes, or phylacteries. Currently I am working on wall hangings of abstracted landscapes. As new ideas emerge, my body of work is constantly changing.
