I moved to the mountains in North Carolina around 1997 seeking further experience in clay and began working for several local ceramic artists. The first few years were spent exploring the area, studying native herbs and wild flowers, taking classes at Odyssey and ending up as Director of Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts from 2003-2008. Of course, my favorite task at Odyssey was bringing in wonderful ceramic artists for classes & workshops, but also watching the development of Odyssey’s resident artists and students. My own work went through numerous changes during this time.

My curiosity in clay is coupled with the endless beauty of this world and the strength of the human spirit. A plants ability to burst forth from a slab of concrete, continually changing to adapt and survive the harsh atmosphere of earth gives hope of endurance. This love of nature, the cycle of growth, and the strength of all living things finds its way into each piece, I’m fortunate to create images inspired by patterns from the smallest wonders on this planet. Much enjoyment is spent endlessly scavenging for odd objects, a lovely way to spend the day!

I wish to extend much gratitude, joy, reverence, and love to those who have helped in this path and given encouraging support; my sweet partner, family and many friends.
