Artist statement: “My primary interest is pottery. I draw inspiration from local plant and animal life. Smooth, glossy glazes cover motifs of deer, loons, blueberries and lady slippers. My work is meant to be used daily, a hot cup of coffee in a mug, mashed potatoes in a serving bowl, or fresh bread on a platter. My secondary interest is sewing, especially recycling wool into warm mittens, giving old sweaters a new life. I enjoy printmaking, especially linoleum block printing. I enjoy the whole process, from planning and carving to printing.”
