I have always been amazed about how the human hand creates a work of art. Since studying the masters at RISD and admiring art throughout my life, I have explored many mediums and have been intrigued about the process of ideation through creation. This curiosity led me from foundation disciplines, life drawing and graphic design to the four dimensional possibilities of clay. Making a departure from a 25+ year graphics and marketing career, I’ve been a potter for three years where I have found my passion in high fire gas kilns. I’ve dedicated this time to deep dive into research, experimentation, innovation and learning. When I create with clay on the wheel, all noise disappears and the form comes into shape with a sharp focus of what’s in my mind’s eye. My hands pull and move the clay from the solid to a functional piece which exists for use in the present moment and across time, for daily practice or ritual ceremony. Focusing on two artistic outcomes, functional and Judaic pottery, I envision and create objects that feed others, feed myself and feed my soul. My goal is to share handmade craft in objects that bring meaning to one’s everyday and spiritual life.
