When my daughter was young, I noticed a Polaroid on her wall of me with the word "goat" (not GOAT!) inscribed below. Was it my appearance, my mannerisms, or my voice? I cherished the notion of being referred to as a goat.
Residing in Northern California, surrounded by nature, I often feel like a goat navigating narrow paths that lead to breathtaking vistas. The endless beauty inspires me and fuels my creativity.
After years of working in technology, I decided to indulge imagination and curiosity and realize my artistic dreams.
Pottery is a meditation which takes time, patience and practice. There is always something new to explore. Glazing requires experimenting, has its successes and failures, but in the end, you have something you created with your heart and your hands.
