i am interested in the life force; a dangerous beauty entailing seduction, sexual prowess and moaning hormones. i want to celebrate the spirit of life. the work, two-stepping towards figuration, beckoning seductively, singing the high notes for recognition. they beckon the viewer to come closer, "come hither." t want to make something gorgeous, elegant. oh my God, have I gone over the line. is this Baroque-a-go-go? I wish my work to smell of the sea, have colors as soft and slippery a satin quilt and taste the effervescent, tingle of pink.

my work explores various microcosm and the details within. this group of sculptures evolved from the ideas of growth and transition, from the feminine point of view. i have been studying tubeworms and mollusk, as well as orchids and the sex of flowers. color is integral. i animate the work with the application of china paints, lustres and colored glazes, often up to ten firings in the kiln. i consider the works organic as well as figurative.

the works are china paint, lustre and colored glazed ceramic sculptures:
