Artist statement…

Vivid memory, sense impressions, and intuitive impulse drive my work, leading to ideas that take form in clay. Building from childhood experiences, I try to recreate, not the experience, but the feeling which was experienced. I recall my sensory perceptions from trips to India, spending time with my grandmother, and being surrounded by folk art. I think of my body as a sponge that is constantly gathering data or memory. This stored information provides the source material for my work.
