I took my first wheel-throwing class in the summer of 1990 and I was "hooked" from the first class! I am just as excited working with clay now as I was that first time! It's always magical!

I have always been awed and inspired by nature and most of my work reflects this. I experiment constantly with new forms and glaze combinations to best express this inspiration. See My Work for examples. I sell my work at several stores, from my studio, and at craft fairs. See Shows and Sales for details.

I also teach occasional workshops at my studios. I have worked hard to create efficient work spaces where students can come to learn about new glazing and firing methods. See Visit my Studio and Workshops for more information. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my passion for clay with others!

I live in Reston, Virginia, part of the Greater Washington, DC area and we have many opportunities here for the pursuit of ceramic appreciation, study, and networking. See Resources for Clay Artists to find out where to buy clay supplies, take classes, and buy pottery. There is also a section there on workshops offered out of state at well known craft schools.
