I have always been captivated by patterns and structures in nature. I once saw a mural that depicted the microscopic and the cosmic showing their similar structures and I loved it. I will travel far and wide to view rock formations up close, spend hours watching wave patterns in the river or at the coast, and as a gardener observe vein patterns in leaves and rows of vines in fields. Color is my other love. Having worked for almost 30 years in clay and glazes I have to see the color in my head because what one sees in the raw liquid glaze is not what one gets in the finished piece. I am also now working with glass, and what I see is what I get, with the lovely addition of colors melting together to form new yummy treats.
