I have been working with ceramics for several years, throwing on the wheel, handbuilding, and combining the two. However, I have recently become energized by the making of Raku clocks. I love to take the extreme order of a clock face, surround it with chaos, and yield it to the unpredictability of the Raku firing process. The “chaos” is made from orderly geometric shapes such as circles, lines, triangles, and coupled with irregular shapes and textures.
The Raku firing introduces metallic flash areas and color variations that are all colors of the rainbow. I am always excited to see what the final work will look like. Certainly, no two are the same and I like that.

“Nature is a window to a presence much larger than we are. Nature and light teach us about impermanence.
My art points to being mindful of our ever changing experience of the beauty that can be found in life." Katherine Irish, PSA, PSNM

"I am a Skywatcher. I have been a Skywatcher as long as I can remember. Big skies over the desert,
approaching weather, defined by the size and shapes of clouds."

"Woodworking is the lover who drives you to drink, hijacks your soul and yet I’ve been in love with her for over four decades. I’ve mainlined her sawdust to the top of the mountain whilst destroying every relationship and turning every possession to ash. I’m the street junkie looking for the next fix, the next piece that takes one’s breath away and finally blows you a kiss of tranquility, if only for a few minutes. Charles Bukowski said it best, “Find what you love and let it kill you.”

"After working with several different mediums for many years, I discovered encaustic techniques and the beeswax medium in 1994 which became a new beginning for my work. The opportunity to experiment with, and redevelop a unique, ancient technique fulfilled my interest in the historical aspects of art, which led to a long journey of discovery. Since that time, I have painted using only beeswax as a medium because the medium and technique provided me the freedom to express my perceptions of the surrealistic aspects of life and nature. My hope is that my work conveys to the viewer the mystical aspects of this medium."
