“Color has long been one of my passions. I love dusk and other times when the atmosphere intensifies color. During the more than 33 years I've been a potter, I have been testing colors, looking for ways to be more expressive.”
“At one point, I briefly returned to oil painting to experience more color in my work. But I needed the feel and look of clay with its hard/soft nature and the jewel-like quality of glazed surfaces to do what I wanted. Throughout the years, I continued to be fascinated by glossy glazes surrounded by matt ones. I spent most of the early part of my career making functional pottery, but when the color and form I was experimenting with did not harmonize well on functional pieces, I turned to three-dimensional wall hangings hand-built with clay slabs.”
“I live in rural South Central Pennsylvania with my husband Bill, and I work in a studio adjacent to my home.” |
