Artist Statement
“Art is critical in my life. I have always been fascinated by people and sculpture…and by art; it is necessary in my life. I had assumed it was that way for everyone.
I have enjoyed being a potter for more than 50 years. Exploring glazes, clays, and producing original pieces that are functional, ornamental and sculptural is an obsession for me.
Since I am not a production potter and rarely do commission work, all the pieces I create are individual and unique.
My recent figurative sculpture work is a series I call ”Forgotten People of the World”.
It always amazes me that a large segment of our society never looks at, or considers, the past…but is always focused forward, searching and awaiting the newest and latest device or happening. And in doing so, loses sight of much historical beauty.”
