• Artist’s Statement •

I want to remember and celebrate those without whom my life would not be what it is…I am now and always will be grateful…

To Frances, whose love and help made me who I am.

To Gerry and Julie Williams, who gave me their love and brought me into a world of pottery that I had no idea about.

To Lisa Blackburn and John Hartom, whose Empty Bowls Project gave me a reason to make pots again, and more!

To Michael O’Connell, whose example in starting the Jeremiah Project gave me the confidence to start my own work — with Empty Bowls.

To Brother Dietrich Reinhart, who helped me down the path of understanding the significance of the Benedictine thread in my life — and in my pottery.

To the young mother from St Paul, who helped me to understand what my pottery could mean to someone else, and me.

To the women of Sarah’s, who helped me to understand even more fully…

And finally, to my girls — Kara and Chastity, who make me happy, every day.
