DUTCH ALLEY CO-OPS “ARTIST OF OCTOBER”

“CELEBRATE” 17 years of creating and sharing my Story Pottery at the Dutch Alley Artists Co-Op

• I am not a robot

• art created by my human hands

• series inspired by New Orleans life

• Earths clay transformed by imagination and fire

• Hand glaze painted and Raku fired

I illustrate my signature shape pieces by impressing, carving and layering words, textures and drawings into, out of and onto the clay. Inspired by life around me in New Orleans, I create pieces that share bits of our stories. Working away in my studio time flies as I shape a blob of clay following a new idea or evolving an old one. I like to think my pieces share the joy I find in their creation!
