Surface Ceramics

Clay has infinite possibilities as a medium to create.  The surface and form can be translated to achieve about any desired outcome and this keeps challenging me.  I find interest in making separate components to create a larger piece.  If my work comes from real life objects I love to give them unexpected surfaces.  The abstract forms start from a feeling and memories. I strive to convey those universal emotions so the viewer can connect to them with their own story and experiences.
