Hummingbird Pottery
My work reflects my intent, to keep the organic nature of the clay and the hand of the artist evident.
I intentionally leave the horizontal throwing rings, as evidence of the process of creating the forms on the potter's wheel. I also intentionally keep some of the clay unglazed. The toasty quality of the clay serves as a textural contrast to the glaze areas and the clay remains an integral part of the finished piece. The pallet of colors, white, gold, green and pink/red are intended to compliment these botanical forms.
In these works, my love of gardening and flowers has merged with my love of pottery. These sculptural pieces, while rooted in functional forms such as bowls, pitchers and vases transcend function.
