“production” potter for several different companies has taught me speed and efficiency at the wheel. My creative work has led me to collaborate with many other artists, including potters, painters and photographers. I have also been involved with setting up cooperative studios as well as starting my current business that features both my pottery and my husband’s photography.

Currently I favor crafting high-fire porcelain ware (though raku fired pieces continue to be a significant part of my artistic repertoire). Porcelain lends itself to the kind of carving and reshaping I like to do once I’ve thrown a piece on the wheel. When it comes to glazes, the ocean inspires me to create a watercolor effect on my pieces. My goal is to bring these technical and aesthetic elements together in order to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort in my pieces.
