Artist Statement
I am a maker of visual and physical stories captured in time andspace; and in gesture, color, and form.
I want my work to flow and grow and surprise me.When I am in the process of creating, which is always a grand adventure, I consider myself a conduit for visions of home, haven, sanctuary, light, life, and death which all seem to want to find a way into and then back out of me.All materials are fair game for whatever needs to come through my hands and into the world. For much ofmy life I made theater and dance.Then, 30 years ago I discovered pottery, then metal work and it all just exploded after that.
I dream of living following Martha Graham’s advice to just make everything I see in my mind’s eye.Trust the creative impulse.Trust the years of training and practice.Trust that my hands and body know more than my brain.Trust myself and the process enough to just leap without fear.To know that I will find a sense of rightness and ease and grace that fills me with awe and gratitude.
