Artist's Statement:

My work has been greatly influenced by my love of nature and of primitive pottery. I'm constantly surprised to discover that what I thought was original to my own work has been done over and over in many variations by known and unknown artists, past and present. I am deeply grateful to all those influences that have provided so much inspiration.

Bio:

I graduated with a BFA in Ceramics from University of Georgia, 1973 and moved to Richmond in 1976.
I have exhibited in various galleries, regional shows and exhibitions including the Richmond Craftman's Show and Artspace.
I currently live with my 13 year-old son and we share a house with 2 cats, 2 dogs and a bird.
