I am curious about the form of a teapot as a sculpture. I try to engage the viewer and evoke curiosity by giving my teapots a gesture or suggest a mood. I do this by nontraditional placement and manipulation of the elements of the teapot: body, spout, handle, lid and foot. Some teapots have iconography, many being of the cityscape. The cityscape has always reminded me of a sonogram, buildings shooting skyward measuring the beat and rhythm of a city. The controlled chaos of a city is bewildering yet exciting. I take great pride in my finishes. I make all my own slips and glazes. That ability to make my own slips gives me a vast range of color opportunities. The color and application helps create the mood and ambience of the teapot. Most of my teapots are finished with a satin or matte glaze and fired 3-5 times.

Here are some from 2018 and 2019.
