Artist Statement

“My pots reflect the enjoyment I have for throwing, embellishing, creating and using. I enjoy creating each piece

with its own unique character and personality, whether I change a spout, foot, rim, glaze color or decorative element.

All of my pieces are wheel thrown and altered in some way. Because of the rich color I get from the glazes I use,

I enjoy working with porcelain and white stoneware. The forms I make are usually organic in nature, which stems

from my love of the material I use, and my personal preference for a fluid line. My inspirations for surfaces stem

from patterns in fabric, paintings, historic dishware pottery and nature.”

Jennifer earned her MFA from East Carolina University and has taught at various schools and art centers.

She works from her studio at home in York, South Carolina where she lives with her husband, son and twin daughters.
