My work... ok play, has became a way to express spiritual truths in tangible ways.  I like clean well defined boundaries where I am free to function as God has, uniquely, created me to.  I suppose my pieces represent a bit of both.  After finishing pottery 101 and 102, I decided to get my own wheel, kiln, slab roller, and play in whatever space was available at the time.  My studio has been in a basement, a barn, a mudroom, a garage, and now in a pole barn.  Marrying the love of my life and raising my three amazing children took precedence over a career but I continued to sneak in throwing a pot or cup while kids napped and dinner simmered.  Now that my children are older,  I am finding more time to devote to clay.

 

I pray that it never becomes work, but continues to inspire and challenge me to walk closer with God and others. If the things I create can help you do the same, I will have considered my art, and myself, to have accomplished what it was created to do.
