My vision as an artist is to revive these ideas of the Arts and Crafts movement and its mission to create works of fine craftsmanship and beautiful decorative design. In keeping with the tradition of Paul Revere Pottery and Newcomb Pottery, my goal is to establish an environment where disadvantaged women are inspired by crafting carefully designed ceramic wares in a modern context. This idea flourishes in MudGirls Studios today.

As an artist, I study and articulate an approach to ceramics that integrates form and surface design. My aesthetic uses organic motifs and patterns that are situated compositionally to accentuate and enhance the form. Color is limited to bold graphic surface design. With an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship, I create simple forms and employ the aesthetic imperatives of handcraftsmanship, respect for materials, and simplicity of design.
