“I am a reformed modern dancer and self-taught ceramic artist who moonlights as a yoga teacher. Dance, clay and yoga share the necessity of exploring space in combination with earthy materials. Plus heat. As if by a gentle stroke of magic, each discipline transforms the ordinary (space, clay and body) into the extraordinary.
My most current ceramic work is a collection of imaginary landscapes drawing upon the physical properties of geomorphic processes. Tectonic shifts, glacial moraines and the erosive forces of rain and wind upon sediment are the incremental movements I look to for inspiration. Additionally, I produce site specific dot compositions; crisp geometric choreographies for vertical surfaces that employ a range of shapes, textures and colors.”
