I’d say, collector best describes the lens from which I view the world. Whether my hands are building a form or pushing paint across a canvas, my references are drawn from my collection of emotions and images experienced. An individualized eclectic trunk I have filled throughout my life continues to feed my creative expression regardless of the medium. |

I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember with memories of collecting branches, pods, rocks — the things that influence my work. Other influences are pieces from antiquity which inform shapes and choice of surfaces. My ceramic artwork is in the permanent collection of the Tennessee State museum and was featured in Lark Book "500 Raku" publication. One of my favorite invitations to create was from the Nashville International Airport. Our family of artists; my husband, Gary and sons, Daniel and Eric along with myself were invited to create a roaming installation exhibition spanning the length of the airport. I am excited to have an opportunity to share my clay techniques as an instructor for Lemon Bay Clay Studio through drop in & spin classes, 6 week classes and workshops.

Whether it’s teaching, discovering new techniques, or learning from others, pottery has given back to me in so many ways. Pottery teaches you patience, body awareness and the joy from creativity within. It has allowed me to share my knowledge, skills, tricks and the gives me a sense of freedom one gets from working with clay. My pieces are quirky, sometimes functional, mostly sculptural or totally whimsical. Other pieces just remind me to pay attention to simplicity of form and shape.
My pieces are never perfect, sometimes very simple, but to me, there is always beauty in imperfection… after all we are perfectly imperfect! My pottery classes are designed to help beginners and more advanced potters to discover the many facets of hand building. Classes range from sculptural to functional. I hope you enjoy my pieces, my classes and your pottery journey.

I have been a life-long artist. I live in Englewood Florida and my work reflects the colors of the local landscape. I love travel and have a life filled with nature and the wilderness. I belong to the Coastal Wildlife Club and am active on the Turtle Patrol. The long walks along the beach in the early morning hours have been the inspiration for the colors, shapes and subjects that I choose to paint.I have studied the craft of hand building at Stray Cat Studios in Beaver Falls PA and am continuing to grow and explore at Lemon Bay Clay.
