Artist Statement
“My ceramic work is informed by a career as an art director, graphic designer, and illustrator. I employ a variety of methods to create imagery on clay, including sgraffito, Mishima, and traditional printmaking techniques modified for my own purposes. I am influenced by stylized art forms, vivid colors and graphic patterns, drawing inspiration from both personal and imagined conversations with nature.”

"These couple of plates here show a dexterity of the hand and use of playful narrative imagery in works that are wholly intended to be used so you get the pleasure of eating off of a painting and I think that’s always a wonderful thing.” Malcolm Mobutu Smith
