“My strongest inspiration comes from Mother Nature and its weathering influences on the shape of trees, rocks, seedpods, plants, and animals both on land and underwater. Nature touches me, evoking a desire for exploration, and connects me to earth. It sets me free and feeds my energy. The process of integrating various natural media with clay, like natural stones, sand, and wood to create dynamics has a great appeal to me. I feel drawn to forms found in nature”
