​Pottery and Nature

Nature influences many of my works.  Whether at my cabin or on a trail, I may find a fern, pine bough or fallen piece of bark to press into the clay of my next hand-built creation.  I love organic shapes and draped pieces, often finding myself deep in the aisles of the fabric store looking for that perfect piece of fabric – not to make clothing, but for use in the pottery studio!  I enjoy making both functional and decorative pottery – sometimes in one piece.

It's an adventure - every time you create!

Do you love looking at other people's art wishing that could be yours​?  It CAN be!  Just pull your materials together and create.  It really is that easy.

Art calls. Will you answer?

Anyone can create art with any materials at any time. In the house with junk mail & a pencil. 
​On a hike in the forest with some creatively placed fallen leaves & twigs.  Never stop creating.

POTTERY

'Playing with clay' has been a passion of mine since 2016 after my daughter started bringing  home these wonderful ceramic pieces from college.  The movement of the clay, the glaze colors-you can't help but love it.  We now get muddy in the studio together!

FIBER

Fiber in various forms has been part of my life since the age of 7, when my older sister taught me to use our mother's sewing machine.  Toss me some yarn and you'll find me knitting, felting or weaving on a table loom -  or mixing it up and
​'fiber-ing' on my pottery!

WEB/GRAPHIC DESIGN

Wow!  When we got our first computer, a whole new creative world opened up!  Creating content for a variety of publications is pure joy.  From choosing the fonts, graphics and layout - you can't keep me away.  Website and Graphic Design makes my heart swoon!
