I make ceramic work that is functional and is decorative. I have a variety of plates, bowls and tableware including salt shakers. I also make sculptural vases and wall pieces. I enjoy the play of form, texture and color in my work.
Profile
I am a retired public school art educator. Post college, I took classes in clay to help me be a better art teacher, and I fell in love with ceramic art. I love playing with texture, form and glazing.
