"I truly believe that everyone has the potential to be artistic and creative. I act as a facilitator to help unlock this hidden potential. Many people don't think they are artistic since they have not succeeded in areas such as drawing or painting. Fortunately, we don't do a lot of drawing in ceramics, so it's a liberating experience. Clay is such a versatile medium that everyone can find success in their own way. I think this explains why Ceramics/Sculpture has always been one of the most popular art classes at BHHS."
