My early days as a Ceramists

I started as a ceramists back in High School. I received a B.F.A. in Crafts with a focus in Ceramics from VCU in 1997.  I continued my work at Ohio State University. Sadly, I have not touched clay again since then, 1999.  I still long to be on the wheel throwing a vase. There is something to be said about having the earth in your hands and transforming it.

This series is my "custom" teapots that where inspired by cars from the 1970s and older. Later I became more and more inspired by the Sculptor, Brancusi. The forms no longer looked like cars. I became more interested in the form of birds.

At first they were teapots with old advertisements
