Inspiration

Inspiration comes in many forms. For me, people are a big source.  Specifically, my pottery idols are Susie Cooper, Clarice Cliff, and Eva Zeisal, all strong women with great design sense. Cooper, an English potter, made striking designs in bold colors.  Cliff took color to a new level with her Bizarre ware, and Zeisal (still making pottery at age 101) creates shapes that are at once unusual and organic. Take a look at my inspiration...

Cooper's Sunflower vase is cheery yet refined.

Clarice Cliff's amazing use of color and design!

Eva Zeisal's organic shapes are unmatched!
