as an artist, i believe an object tells a story.

my work is inspired by functional objects that have been present throughout history- a cup, a plate, a spoon, a water jug... timeless, clean and simple. traveling in the mediterranean as a child, i became acutely aware of the handmade in the region. its architecture and artifacts awakened an artistic sensibility that has shaped my life & work.

i create sculptural vessels that are, like the human figure, unique and one of a kind, changing from every view point. art pieces that are made to be held and used. objects that aesthetically enhance the everyday moments of life. the vessels are coil hand sculpted, a technique that reaches into antiquity and predates throwing on a wheel. the simplicity of hand building artistically stands out in a world that is striving towards mathematical perfection- where the human imprint of the creative moment is hidden or lost.

for me, the imperfect line, the off-centered object is the art.
