"For me, our coop provides a community of diverse, but like minded
artists. I enjoy being able to contribute to the community effort and at the
same time feel supported by other members.
As a science teacher and biologist I am often in touch with the many
shapes and colors of nature. Garden seed pods, birds, and animal
habitats inspire my work.
Aspects of Asian art, from the simplicity of bamboo stems and leaves to
fine lines of lanterns and pagodas, can also be found in my ceramic
pieces. The glazing process I use includes traditional Celadon and Shino,
the addition of salt or soda to the kiln's chamber, and the burning of wood
to add elements of surprise."
