I have had a life long love affair with nature .  Fascinated by the creation and the creator and a constant yearning for a connection.  Expressions in clay has been an outlet for some of the feelings that I have.  I spent much of my youth in the tide pools at Corona Del Mar, California.  Long before all of the development.  Hours searching for little animals and always watching the interaction between organisms.  It has turned up in my teapots. Originally, I made the pots to have wings and they evolved into sea type creatures.  I really don't have a clear idea of what the pots I make will turn out like, I just let the process take my mind to other places.
