Artist Statement: I am driven to create. Clay happily responds to my every whim and gives me great joy. It’s as though it’s alive and we have marvelous conversations together. I have been away from clay for way too long and now that we are reunited this late in life, I just hope I have time enough to listen to all it has to tell me.
