ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The source of my inspirations is Mother nature - its magical beauty, harmony, strength and power. Every ceramic piece is filled with my positive energy and creative spirit. Handmade ceramics are always more than just tableware or décor. It is a creative process of transforming a ball of clay into an object of art. My ceramic vessels are simple and elegant but they are bold at the same time. They are beautiful accents. I love experimenting with surface textures. This horsehair raku vase is created using a unique firing process. The vase was thrown on the wheel. Terra sigillata with minerals was applied to the bone dry pot and bisque fired. The vessel is pulled from the kiln while glowing red hot. Horse hair were placed on the surface, igniting and leaving black carbon designs on the surface. The mineral gives a luster and subtle sheen that emanates from within the clay. The smoke initiates a chemical process pulling vibrant iridescent pearl like luster to the surface. No two pieces of will ever be alike. Raku ceramics by their creative process and their very nature serve only for decorative purposes.

My strongest inspiration comes from Mother nature and its influences on the shape of plants and animals, trees and rocks, both on land and underwater. New techniques and forms continually stimulate my interest in clay. The process of integrating various media with clay, like metal wire, stones, sand and wood to create dynamics has a great appeal to me. It is fascinating to take something essentially flat and turn it into organic form with volume creating a synergy between layered color, texture and movement. My favorite firing method is raku but I also use high fire with reduction process and oxidation process.
