When I reflect on my many years of work as a studio potter, I realize it has changed dramatically, and the way I think about my work has also changed. My work as a potter, though extremely enjoyable is not the totality of who I am. I do not sacrifice everything to its advancement and I never want to become so consumed by it that I cannot hold it in a healthy context.

I am first, an individual striving to be more deeply human.

My work as an artist is very important to me, but it’s not just about pots. What I mean by that is art is important in the world. Even more important than art are artists, we think differently, we think creatively. Creativity is spirit filled, and the more art there is in the world the more artists there will be, and the more spirit filled the world becomes.
