ARTIST STATEMENT
\n\;Artist&rsquo\;s S tatement For nearly 50 years I have created stained glass windows and lamp s as commission pieces. Some of these are in public places including the C enterville Library\, Sugarhouse Library\, Kol Ami Temple\, Church of the R esurrection (Centerville)\, Rowland Hall School. My glass lamps\, along wi th steel work by my husband\, David\, were shown at the Salt Lake City Art Barn in 2013 in a show entitled\, "On the Light Side". Most of my windows \, however\, are in private homes throughout the valley. Only since retiri ng in 2005 did I begin my love affair with pottery. My works are hand-buil t as I enjoy finding the limits of this medium as I roll\, fold and pinch it into sculptural forms. The natural textures and colors of the clay are used in my work to create organic and irregular shapes. I want my pottery to reflect the process of its creation&hellip\;as if it is still emerging from the lump of clay I began with.
