I find inspiration for my work in many things. Sometimes it can be as simple as the challenge of learning a new technique like the complicated form of my Swirly Pots. Other pieces fall into the category of what I like to call “interactive sculpture.” These are both utilitarian and whimsical and allow the owner to interact with these pieces. My lighthouse tea and coffee pots and the bridge candelabra fall into this category. I like to create pieces that will give people pleasure on many levels.
