Artist's Statement: Creating the "Seed Jars" or my bowls are like visiting old friends. Most of the works of art I create are oil paints on canvas, graphite on paper and clay and mixed media. So creating vases and bowls are like going back to the roots for me. My introduction to the mud was in a functional manner. I always enjoy creating objects that at some point with the right hand and eye will house flowers water and life....
