Artist’s Statement

I am captivated and endlessly inspired by both micro and macro views of dense New England forests, sweeping meadows, and hidden streams. As a farmer and naturalist, the animals around me contribute their essence to everything I create. I​ ​revel​ ​in​ ​edges,​ ​the​ ​juxtaposition​ ​of​ ​disparate​ ​textures,​ ​and​ ​the​ elegant, timeless ​quality​ ​of​ ​a​ ​simple line.​ ​Inspired​ ​by​ ​the​ ​tension​ ​of​ ​Degas’​ ​compositions,​ and ​Saint-Gaudens​’ ​mastery​ ​of form, space​, and​ ​emotion, my ceramic forms are influenced by ancient primitive pottery and my agrarian roots.

The beautifully imperfect craft attracts me; work that shows the brilliance of inspiration and yet the humanity of the maker. Mark making fascinates me. ​Light​ ​and​ ​line​ ​speak​ ​to​ ​me,​ ​as does​ ​the​ ​spirit​ ​in​ ​things. As a self-taught ceramicist, I lean on intuition and feel more than training, and have come to embrace drawn, painted and textural marks as well as how a piece sits in space. I find the artistic process as significant as the finished work, and look forward to combining my ceramic work with my fused glass in 2022.
