The Eggs are an evolution of creativity and wonder. What started as a simple query between friends quickly eggspanded into diverse, porcelain interpretations of everyday life. Eggs are symbolic of something new and fragile, a familiar vibe in the art world as well as an eggstremely versatile subject matter. Representing life and development but also a little mystery, the freedom of clay thrives at my fingertips. I find myself incubating this muse with great care as it has become a home for my art and a source of real happiness. Sharing this work is an eggsperience that inspires me and connects with people in a very special way.

Each egg is wheel thrown and trimmed by hand to a smooth and satisfactory shape. Hollow with an illusion of ‘thin’, each one a different size, ready for a unique personality. In the studio, hours go by without notice because the details keep me pleasantly busy - Eggsaust needs a new tailpipe or an Eggsotic chameleon awaits its colorful camouflage. The deviled egg is in the details for me; a place where whimsy and curiosity, passion and humor all connect. 

Many many years ago my friend Deb and I were in the studio. It was early spring, and she asked me if I  could throw some eggs for us to play with. “For Easter, oh it will be so fun to decorate clay  eggs!” Pretty soon off-the-hump we had a couple dozen in front of us but quickly our interest began to fade… 

     Me: “Well, what else can you do with a clay egg?”  

               Deb: “I don’t know — you’re the expert, you tell me!” 

     Me: “Okay, I'm the expert… expert…expert... EGGSpert! … … How do you make an EGGSPERT?!!” 

For days on end I pondered, determined not to waste that clutch of clay eggs, risking outcast and asking  anyone to entertain my query – How do you make an ‘eggspert’? Kinda felt like I was  searching the universe for an impossible answer but I needed a true expert… And then  suddenly there he was - Albert Einstein, the master of all things matter. His discovery of E=mc² makes him an eggspert! It was after this eggciting revelation that inspiration began to flow and my muse hatched.
