I work to accomplish compositions that harmonize in form, texture, and color.  My works are sculptural as well as abstract paintings.  The vessels express fluidity of form and explore that particular quality of clay.  The fragmented wall pieces are ceramic canvases that express the rigid fragmented and broken qualities of clay.  I use clay and paints to accomplish and express myself as a sculptor and painter.
