Meet the Maker

I first encountered clay on the slippery creek beds of my childhood. I sculpted many cats out of the muddy clay and let them dry in the sun. In high school, I happened upon a pottery shop and was enthralled watching a potter on the potter's wheel. In college, I tried lots of courses but always ended up in the ceramics studio where I eventually earned a BFA degree in ceramics and took lots of sculpture courses as well. While raising kids and moving around the world for my husband's job, I was always drawn back to clay whenever possible. I began teaching elementary art and earned a Master's Degree in Education. Teaching art was a fantastic way of immersing myself in many artistic endeavors and mediums. At this time, I also began working in natural dyeing and textiles with an emphasis on hand embroidery. It is always the texture of textiles and/or clay that intrigues me the most. I am inspired by nature as is evident in the motifs and images on both pottery, sculptures, as well as stitched works of art I currently create. Once retiring and moving to Richmond, VA, I have my own clay studio once again. Learning and re-learning with clay is a never ending adventure which I am thoroughly enjoying.
