Artist Statement

After putting my art career on hold for 25 years, I found ceramics and that event turned out to be my come back to something that really defines me as a person and is very true to me – art. Clay is a magnificent medium to work with. It constantly challenges my creativity, knowledge, and skills. It pushes my boundaries and makes me go forward, makes me want to discover and experience more and more.

Life is a constant change and my ceramic art pieces represent this change. I love the fact that clay allows me to create art that possesses dynamic, motion, and direction. With every piece I am trying to create a movement. There is a surprise at every angle and no side is the same.

In my work I like to implement nature. Leaves, flower-like elements, clean organic forms. I would like my art pieces to carry a strong reminder how important and relevant nature is and how dependent we are on it.

Creating my pieces I use both wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques.
