"Inspired by ancient Anasazi Mimbres potsherds, I began making Southwestern pottery.  I dig clay in the Elk Mountains outside my studio in Colorado.  The clay is filtered to remove rocks and debris and then hand-coiled to form each piece.  The pottery is then incised with metal tools to create rhythmic textures and patterns.  Each pot is unique. 

Since 1989 I have studied extensively with potters of the American Indian pueblos and Mata Ortiz, Mexico.  My pieces are ancient and modern at the same time".
