Statement
All my life I have loved making things with my hands. Tree forts, doll clothes, sculptures of animals, pies, pottery, knitted socks, jam. I love the practice of choosing and assembling materials; getting physical with the process; following the piece from idea to tactile, useful, beautiful, delicious object. When I stand back and survey my efforts, I know the best part is yet to come... sharing these gifts from my hands makes my efforts joyful, the work a pleasure.
