“There’s nothing more gratifying than using material from the earth and transforming it into functional pieces for people to use and appreciate. The art of throwing clay on a wheel is both therapeutic and grounding. It connects me to a process that people have been doing for centuries.”

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”

- Edgar Degas
