    Style

    I hope I can have our souls travel together, communicate, and become kindred spirits with those who see my artwork.

    I inlay glaze, fire at a high temperature, add overglaze decoration and fire again. My feelings towards the doll and the texture of the clay are very important when working on my artwork.
