Thirty years of working with clay and I still wake up excited to get into the studio most of the time. We're some lucky folk, we artist/craftspeople. So, thirty years has taken me from raku through stoneware and porcelain, functional to sculptural and back, through teaching to working silently and alone in my studio. I've had some memorable experiences. Having taught two Saudi princesses for a summer, I was invited to design and build a studio for them at the old Faisal palace in Riyadh. What a trip. And there was the (honeymoon) year in Guatemala to immerse myself in their incredibly rich craft culture.

Currently, I'm doing the silent and alone thing in my studio, contemplating a move to west Texas and what changes that will bring to my work. I'm also serving on the board of directors for the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
