The pottery that I make is intended to provoke daily use. I compose each piece with both function and visual aesthetics in mind. Making multiples of each piece gives me an opportunity to make new innovations within similar forms. Inspiration for my current work comes from a wide range of firing techniques and construction styles, both historical and modern. Throughout my search for my own ceramic identity, I have become totally infatuated with the wood firing process. Being a wood firing potter I am only able to set parameters for my work, leaving much of the final outcome to chance.

Amends is a project that served as a continuation of my work with feathers, eggshells and stoneware: From our inception to our end we grow and change. As we are broken, we are born into our present selves. We are not only beheld in the eye of one another but born from the essence of one another. We are all undeniably connected through the tapestry of our past and from which can amend through the promise and freedom of today. Amends explores this tapestry through the language of sculpture.
