Inspired by the flora and fauna around Maryland, I make clay works of art that are occassionally functional. I enjoy the connection with the earth that the medium presents. I fire my pieces in wood and soda ash kilns. This presents challenges and wonderful results. The memory of the clay to return to its resting state, even if I try to manipulate it, strengthens my resolve to be true to my message from the inception of the design idea.

Gift nest
My very talented and generous friend Beth has been single-handedly furnishing our new house on the Patuxent River. In exchange for lots of great stuff, including a bunk bed from her dad, Hugh, I have given him one of my nests. Since his mother was the owner of the lovely bird books that Beth has shared with me, it seems so appropriate that her family owns one of these precious nests.
