I enjoy the pleasure and challenge of the ceramic art form and craft. My goal is to create both artistic and functional pottery as each creative process synergizes each other. Using stoneware clay and conventional throwing techniques, I choose the appropriate glaze and glazing technique to complement the object’s shape and surface. I use a pallete of skills such as slip application, underglaze, over glaze (in-glaze), sponging, spraying, and spattering. My work has evolved from simpler to more complex forms incorporating my personal experiences and statements.

In some of my work I favor the use of wonderful vibrant colors on traditional shapes to reproduce the Mediterranean majolica effect, a pottery style I observed in my travels abroad. Colors are selected based on the clay form being decorated and their complementarity to each other. The colors are applied in layers using spattering applications controlled to highlight the production of overlapping colors and new color blends.
