“There’s nothing more gratifying than taking material from the earth and transforming it into functional pieces for people to use and appreciate. The art of throwing clay on a wheel is both therapeutic and grounding. It connects me to a process that people have been doing for centuries.”
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.”
- Edgar Degas
