When I was in school they said an artist goes to the end of their mind and jumps off. My favorite art is make is created in this place. It doesn’t matter the medium it matters the place it comes from. For me it’s the openness that creativity flows thru. I choose clay as a way to express myself. I find that clay is fluid in a way that reflects what you see in your dreams. My process is to make and sell as many things as possible hoping that creativity will appear.
