"I have had my hands in it for over 30 years, and expect I will do so for the next 30.

"My work springs from a single idea. As I continue to evolve, I'm fascinated by the notion of creating clay work in pieces, then re-uniting all the parts to become one object. My work is really just...'pieces of clay.'

"For me, there's something uniquely rewarding about it.  The various finished clay parts are scattered about the studio and somehow find their way back together, to complete a single piece.

"It's an idea filled with possibilities - shape, size and texture, as well as endless combinations of vibrant color."
