Artist Statement
As a clay artist, my subject matter comes from plants as well as animals and other parts of the natural world. I started out making narrative ceramic wall pieces using this subject matter and eventually evolved from low relief images to 3 dimensional animal heads and now free standing animal sculptures.
I can’t possibly recreate mother natures’ ingenuity and inventiveness, , so my creations are just a nod to nature. I like placing them in a garden, among living plants and flowers .The inspiration for them lies there and it seems a good place to bring another dimension into a garden.
