About me
For me, creativity happens in a hidden world beyond my conscious control, where I lose track of the passage of time. At these moments, the mind ceases its babble, and I merge with my work. This is the moment I perpetually seek, the very reason that I love to make pots. Clay is the medium through which I am centered and alive. I strive to make beautiful and useful objects, where the joy of the maker is passed on to the user of my work. I believe that objects made by the human hand have a magnetism that no machine made piece can duplicate.
I have been a resident artist at Seward Park Clay Studio since 2001. I began making pottery in high school and after college I went to the Brooklyn Museum Pottery for training under potter Hui Ka Kwong. I have continued to do pottery for my entire life. It is the joy of my heart.
