The unexpected oddness of our lives – twists, turns, stumbles and rebirths, all form our expression, stance, and style of interaction, always embellished with the subtle marks and scars of life’s experiences.

My figurative claywork is composed of hollow, handbuilt forms. I use various pinching, pulling, slab, and attaching techniques. Surfaces are often carved, textured, or roughened . After a bisque firing, pieces are rubbed and brushed with layers of underglazes, majolicas, and glazes. ... view more »

About My Work:

I use hand building techniques and a variety of glazes to create figurative sculpture for pedestals and the wall.  Tile groupings are based on color and texture. I make drawn, carved and glazed picture tiles and decorative pottery.  My surfaces are all glazed, with the color palette ranging from bright lively saturated color to subtle earth tones.

I teach clay classes for adults, and a variety of visual art media for children, including clay, murals, and painting.  In my programs, children have created relief tile murals for their schools, clay totems for an entranceway, a mosaic piece on a park wall, a painted bridge near a school, and individual artwork to be taken home.  Children’s classes are based on learning about a particular culture, artist, or natural form.  I am particularly interested in multi-cultural art forms, traditions, and life-styles.
