The soul requires emotional fulfillment, the mind intellectual satisfaction, the spirit higher realms of experience and the hands sensitive creativity. For the past 40 years I have been searching for the perfect vessel. Clay has always been my medium and I find myself exploring and experimenting with all the different possibilities in which it can be formed, shaped, colored and fired.
