My work with clay began as a serious hobby in the mid-70s when I discovered a love of making and using functional pottery. I was taught by my mother to draw and use watercolor as a young child and this influence can be seen in some of the designs I employ today on my pottery. In 2010 I moved to Tucson and realized my dream of having a home studio where I now create a variety of functional ware strongly influenced by classic forms surrounded by the beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
I take pride in making pottery that is well balanced and pleasing to the eye and touch. My handcrafted pottery is lovingly created and designed to function beautifully in your home.
As an artist, I get a great deal of satisfaction from creating pieces that people love to use.
