I love texture! I was the kid that drove her mom crazy by touching
everything in the store, at church, my grandmothers’ gardens, etc.
That love of texture and childish exuberance continues today.

All of my slab or coil built plates, platters, bowls, cups, and hand carved
houses, are simple shapes, with translucent glazes, textured with hand
crocheted lace, burlap bags, ferns, cedar and oak leaves. Other textured
projects are laboriously burnished with oxides so that after the second
firing, they look like hand tooled leather. Like fossils, each simple shape
features these beautiful textures immortalized in clay.
