ARTIST STATEMENT: There is a feeling when I work in clay that takes over my senses and my awareness of time and place. I don’t always have a plan when I start but just by holding the clay and working it I begin to formulate and create. It usually ends in a realistic or semi-realistic piece with a sense of strong emotion or humor. I work usually in terra cotta clay but I try not to use glazes for the finished piece that will give it a “ceramic” rather than “sculpture appearance. I have experimented with many types of paints and stains and pigments for the patina on the pieces. I love the “instant” gratification that comes from using ceramic clay, although it can also be frustrating if things don’t go right in the kiln. I like the uniqueness of each piece. Even with my bronze pieces I keep the editions small, usually 10-12 for each. Most of my work is figurative with the human and a strong focus on animals, especially the horse. I love movement and definition, and expressive positions that will show the viewer a small piece of life. Getting the viewer to share the feeling, story, or the event depicted is an important aspect of my work. I enjoy interpreting reality as I see it and feeling the power and satisfaction of creation.
