"My inspiration is derived from my life and experiences, from the natural world as well Italian, Swedish and Mexican potters, designers and artists. I enjoy creating art objects that I would want surrounding me in my own home, and usually those that hold an uneven edge, fingerprints baked into the clay and some record of the process that created it."
