I began pottery while I was in my late 30's after a life altering experience. In 1994 I reassessed my life and made my first pot on the wheel at Mudflat Studios in Somerville, MA. Since then I have grown my education for my use as needed at various locations around the country utilizing different venues including: apprenticeships, continuing education, formal education, visiting artist programs, an array of workshops and at various artists locations.

I enjoy the tactile nature of clay. My senses are aroused by the motion, movement and fluidity of the clay, glaze and the firing process. I enjoy sensing the unity of the clay as it is wheel wedged and even though a state of mud there is a definite unity in it. I experience and experiment with various parts of the processes and am amazed by the results when the firing process is over and enjoy each piece as a new creation.

I also dabble in other media as the mood occurs. By rotating through the processes and media, I feel that the development within my work and myself as an artisan continues to grow in a manner I can best understand.

I work when and as I can and only make work when I am feeling good.
