As an industrial designer by day and a potter by night, working with clay gives her new design challenges and artistic freedom while providing more “hands on” work she desires.

Clay History
I started working with clay 12 years ago at Queen City Clay. QCC has given me the opportunity to fall in love with alternative firing. I lean to firing styles like wood, salt, soda, pit & raku. My "style" is of course inspired by those that i have learned from, but i am continuously searching for who i am and what my art is in the world. Funny that I only just internalized it's a continuous journey and not a finish line. So while i lean to a few common shapes and designs that i consider "mine" I am on the journey to discover more and go deeper.
After evaluating what i have created over the years, I find the overall description to be inspired by nature, graceful movement, & fictional characters. I am most obsessed with a well executed shape but you can also see I love color, contrast and exaggerated movements. Successful art in my mind is when it can draw you in, create a desire to touch or see more because it is beautifully graceful, curious in nature, or different that what you normally see.
