Artist Statement

I am intrigued by light and shadow, shapes and spaces, insides and outsides, within and without. Sometimes insides become outsides like a flower bud that was once within but then emerges out. Inside joins outside and a new within becomes. My hands transform the clay into the shape it desires, creating not only shape and space and surface for light to play with shadow, but infusing an essence of grace and spirit through the abstracted embodiment of figure and foliage.
