One day when I was photographing my sculpture I took a close up photo of the glaze patterns and boom…I had a light bulb moment. Ever since then I have been photographing and manipulating the images to create a completely new concept of art.

When creating my sculptures I roll out the clay and let it tell me how it wants to fold and be shaped. After it is fired for the first time (aka bisqued), I crate a layered glazing plan based on my large collection of glaze-layered test tiles. I delight in seeing what new combinations of colors and textures will come out of the kiln next!
Inspired by visions I see in meditations and the energy all around us that I feel as a result, my painting techniques focus on color, hape and visualizing the feeling of ‘Joy.’
